The $500 Mark

Earlier this week - as in yesterday - I passed the $500 mark. A milestone of sorts, but nothing to be too proud of because there isn't a stopping point in mind. If there was, that definitely wouldn't be it. Instead it's just something for me to note and move past.

The bigger milestone ahead is the goal I set myself a few months back: 400 miles in year one. With 22 days remaining, I have 45.5 miles to go. That's a little over two miles per day, but actually more attainable than I thought it to be only a week ago. In the last nine days alone, I've gone from a perfectly even pace to 11.5 miles over. That's 20.5 miles in nine days. Keep that up and 400 should be easy. Now it's just a matter of keeping that up...

An Update...

It has been a very, very long time since I've updated the site, but that doesn't mean the running has stopped. As you can see on the right, I'm still on pace with the first year coming close to its end. The pace has been right around what I initially thought it would be, although it looks like it may be difficult to hit the first year goal of 400 miles I set a few months ago. There are still 30 days to go, so we'll see, but it could be tough. The good news is, I'm not behind the mile-a-day pace and don't plan to be. I'll continue to run and continue to raise what I can to fight leukemia and support the places that took such good care of Mo and so many others.
