Man, it's been a long time since I last blogged.
I am an accountant, I like numbers, I like charts, trends, graphs. I like to analyze and crunch numbers, it is a sickness, I know. I am also a runner, another sickness some people may say.
But what happens when you put the two together? Well a year ago I began logging my runs on a website called dailymile.com where I can track stats, look at charts and analyze trends. It’s a great combination of two of my favorite things.
So now that it has been a full year, here is what I accomplished since last October 1. I have logged 187 workouts that took me 169.62 hours for a distance of 1,140.42 miles. That equates to approximately .05 times around the world. According to my data I have also burned 37lbs. which is the equivalent of burning 708 donuts. Although I have not actually lost that many pounds or eaten that many donuts, I have made up for it in many ways.
My lowest running month was March when I logged just 54 miles, while the highest monthly total was September in which I logged 135 miles. I averaged running just over 95 miles per month. My longest single run was in January when I ran my first ever marathon of 26.2 miles.
This winter I am planning to run three marathons within a twelve week span so I should be logging plenty more miles. I guess we will see next year when the nerdy side of me runs the numbers again.
