My running shoes are about to be retired.
Since I started tracking my mileage sometime in November, I have logged 294 miles. I bought my shoes a couple of weeks before I was tracking my miles so they have probably crossed the 300 mile mark by now. Well, I know they have if you count my walking with the kids to the park and for exercise.
But just with running, these are the numbers:
294 miles.
59 hours, 12 minutes, and 22 seconds of running.
2 races- Chaska Turkey Trot in November 2009 and City of Trails in St. Croix Falls, WI in early June.
7 miles- my longest distance (soon to be replaced with a new longest distance this Saturday).
1 hour, 24 minutes, 33 seconds- The longest time I’ve spent running without stopping.
64.1- Miles I plan to run this month.
865- Number of calories I burned doing my last long run.
I love numbers! I have all of these statistics because I log all my running into the runningahead.com site. I like it better than mapmyrun because of the graphs and the pretty interface. It also has mapping capabilities like all the other running/walking/biking sites.
Before I started tracking my mileage, I had no idea I would like keeping track of the data so much. I really didnt consider myself a datahead but perhaps I am!
Way to go on your numbers!
I love numbers, too, but you have taken it to an art form! I never remember to keep track of how far I’ve gone on my shoes and have frequently started to get leg problems before figuring out that my shoes are totally shot – not the uppers, but the soles and the whole support system. It is important to keep track of that!

Great job Amy! Numbers are important but also encouraging to
Sounds like you get to do some shoe shopping soon!
