The Saga Continues.......... that's craptastical!

So, my ITB area still hurts after todays run. That sucks. Ice, Ice, stretch, NSAIDS, and a couple days of rest and we'll hopefully see some improvement. It didn't bother me on the short run last night, but todays longer run really kicked it in. I think switching back to my old shoe brand helped, but was kind of like closing the barn door after the cows are out. Just.too.late.
I was looking at my volume totals for this month, and I think I see another major contributor. I increased my miles from 39.77 for March to 64.5 in April, compounded by outdoor mile volume actually doubling, which I am sure is harder on all my parts overall than the treddy or the elliptical.
27 days to the Madison Marathon. Crap. I sure hope I can hang in there and at least finish that beast.

Updated Mileage Totals

Well the neurotic in me is showing. I have gone back and painstakingly tabulated my indoor mileage back to January 1, 2007, so I can accurately track my mileage for 2007, with a goal of reaching 2007 miles for the year (I borrowed that from See Red Run's blog - thought it was a cool idea, although I may have to count my bike miles to make it....). So anyhow, here goes:

January 2007 Miles:
Indoor Bike Miles: 147.52
Indoor Run Miles (treadmill and elliptical): 17.08
Outdoor Run miles: 16.73
Total Run Miles: 33.81

2006 Outdoor Mileage Report

Well, I have looked at many other people's blogs and marvel at the amount of mileage they have logged, wondering where my own mileage would be if I added it up. There are a couple things that have held me back from figuring it out, such as:

• I have outdoor activity logged in 3 different Garmins, first as a spotty once-in-a-while recording on Mike's Garmin, then on my own, then on the replacement after Maddy ate the first one.
• Especially as we first started exercising, a lot of our activity was tracked on indoor equipment and as minutes, not miles.
• A lot of activity this late Fall/Winter have been indoors too - it would be a major endeavor to try to tablulate that mileage accurately.

So after many days of thinking about it, I decided to take the easier road of my options and at least tabulate OUTDOOR mileage, which is the real thing rather than the indoor simulation. Or at least from the time I started recording it regularly until now.

Running Miles for 2006: 124.82 miles

Total Cumulative Miles to date: 141.55 miles

Road Bike miles for 2006/cumulative miles to date: 393.23 miles

I am not as impressed as I thought I would be. Be on the lookout next year for much more impressive numbers. 2007 is bound to me a much higher mileage year!
