May 2010 in Review…

At its heart, running is pretty simple, so I try to keep it that way. ~ Anton Krupicka

When one steps back and looks at the numbers, May turned out okay. It should have been a lot bigger but given that I was sick for about 2 full weeks and had to take one week completely off, I feel pretty good about how things turned out. Here are the digits:

• Miles: 213.99
• Hours: 38:53:13
• Vertical: 28,349

I was hoping for 250-260 but am completely satisfied with what I accomplished. It ended up being my second biggest month of the year and I finished very strongly – teeing things up nicely for June. Here are some numbers for the year to date, just for fun:

• Miles: 996.68
• Hours: 191
• Vertical: 73,431 (low by probably 15K)

So I am 3.5 miles shy of the 1K mark for the year. That makes me pretty happy. I’ll get that tomorrow then move on to bigger and better goals.
