Day 2,749: 1,000 miles for the year

Today's 7.13-mile run put me over 1,000 miles for the year. It's the fastest that I've ever reached that milestone, doing so in 192 days for an average of 5.2 miles a day.

In contrast, last year, it took me until Thanksgiving Day to reach 1,000 miles. My previous record was on July 23, 2010, when I was also ramping up my mileage for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. It took 204 days then to cross the 1K-mile line.

Obviously running 1,000 miles in a year does not finish any races for me. It gives me a good idea of where I am at in my fitness and my goals.

I have 181.46 miles to go before I cross 10,000 miles for my running streak. I'm thinking that will probably come sometime next month.
