August Wrap-Up

I haven't done a monthly wrap-up before, but I figured now is as good a time as any to start.  About five or six days into the month, someone on one of my facebook fitness groups issued a challenge to post mileage goals for the month of August.  I decided that I could probably do 80, but really had no idea, since I hadn't been keeping up with it like that.


This is where the Runkeeper app that I use (and LOVE) comes in really handy.  Because I use it for all my activity, I was able to start a mileage chart for the month, and then go back and fill in the gaps using my log history.  Here's the result:

2015 Monthly Mileage

1	rest		1			1			1			1
2	6.12		2			2			2			2

5	rest		5			5			5			5
6	8.02		6			6			6			6
7	1.73		7			7			7			7
8	5.04		8			8			8			8
9	rest		9			9			9			9

18	1.95		18			18			18			18
19	rest		19			19			19			19
20	3.17		20			20			20			20
21	rest		21			21			21			21
22	rest		22			22			22			22
23	rest		23			23			23			23
24	6.34		24			24			24			24
25	rest		25			25			25			25
26	8.25		26			26			26			26
27	2.27		27			27			27			27
28	7.96		28			28			28			28
29	0.53		29			29			29			29
30	3.05		30			30			30			30
31	2.68					31						31
Total	94.4		Total	0		Total	0		Total	0		Total	0
Grand Total:				94.40

Kinda snazzy, huh? 


I was very pleased with the outcome.  If I can keep filling this out every day, it should give me a pretty decent pic of my progress, and most likely, I'll add a page tab for this so that you can follow my updates, too.


So...to recap, here are my August statistics:


Goal: 80 miles in 31 days
Actual:  94.4 miles in 31 days, of which 10 days were rest days.
Average:  4.5 miles per day (on the days I had mileage)


Pretty good, huh?  I thought so. :)


So...in keeping with the theme, I'm going to up my goal for September to 100 miles. I'm pretty sure that's doable, but still challenging enough to keep me interested.


What about you? Do you keep up with your mileage?  If so, have you set a mileage goal for August or September?  Share in the comments!
