Day 2,862: New yearly mileage record

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- The most mileage I'd ever done in a calendar year was 1,776.55 miles in 2010, when I ran in two marathons and a slew of other races.

Today, during a 3-mile shakedown run in historic Alexandria Old Town, I passed that mark. There are 61 days left in the year, not to mention the 26.2-mile run scheduled for tomorrow morning.

With any luck, I will complete by year's end something I've never done before -- run 2,000 miles in a calendar year. If I finish tomorrow's Marine Corps Marathon, that will put me over 1,800 miles for the year. One hundred miles a month for two months doesn't seem so bad, does it?

But first things first. It's time to #runwiththemarines.
