September Totals...

I ran 125 miles on my little legs in September!  I know this may not see like a lot to some, but it is my highest mileage in one month!  I just started tracking my mileage in 2008, but I cannot imagine that I ran this much in 2007 when I first started training. 

I am looking to add about 10-20 miles more this month to bump up my mileage even more.  I read an interesting article in an old Runners World yesterday ( I was a little bored at work) and found it very interesting.  I really think I have it in me to run an 4:00 marathon and eventually qualify for Boston!  I am planning on running the Gobbler Grind Marathon in November and am shooting for a 4:00 finish time.  I have a few things working to my advantage:

1. It is much cooler here in November
2. I have run on this trail countless times, but it has been a while since I have, so I should not be too bored
3. I  have run the half marathon the last two years and only remember one small hill

I am pretty excited about this race.  I am also excited that my friend Laura is coming to Kansas City to run the Kansas City Half Marathon with me!  It should be a hilly race, but a fun weekend.  It is so funny that downtwon Kansas City is hilly and about five miles across the state line is flat as a pancake!
