I will runfess that I'm not that hung up on my 1,000 mile thing, either - in my case, I worked out last campaign that between 20 and 35 miles a week are what keep me healthy mentally and physically, so that's more important to me than the total (and I've kept well!).

Personally, if I run more than 20+ miles/week (when not in formal training for anything) I get burned out and usually injured. I just do not need (or want) all those excess miles. I read somewhere many years ago, that one should run the minimum amount necessary to achieve YOUR goals to avoid injury...if I don't need 40 miles/week to achieve my PR's and goals, why put myself at risk? Besides, I do have other things than running to give me happiness and purpose ;-)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-60783986719648261602018-10-28T16:48:23.422-05:002018-10-28T16:48:23.422-05:00I definitely feel a sort of camaraderie with you k...I definitely feel a sort of camaraderie with you knowing that your mileage too is staying at 2-5 miles until you are starting to train for another race. That has been my mileage for a long time (because I'm not training for a long distance race) yet sometimes I feel so silly reporting it or sharing my runs because it's nothing impressive compared to everyone else running double digits, but hey, it's something, right? -MFairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-28324200443958146602018-10-28T13:56:11.887-05:002018-10-28T13:56:11.887-05:00Thanks!
