So far, so good

I tried out the new Saucony shoes this morning. They felt fine, but it was only a five mile run so time will tell how they feel over a longer distance. But I was glad they were comfortable for a short run. Even if they don't help for a long run at least I know I'll be able to use them.

My total mileage for September was 163.93. Should have run an extra .07 just to get to a nice even number. That mileage wouldn't sound like a lot to a hard core runner, but that's a ton for me. My previous high mileage month was August with 153.19. Prior to that, I didn't even break 100 miles for most months.

Oh, and at the beginning of the year I set a goal of running 1,000 miles in 2009. As of today, I'm at 1002.94, so mission accomplished. I guess I can stop running for the rest of the year if I want to. :)

WOOHOO on the mileage! I keep reading about your shoes,.... I am soooo dying to get a pair of the Asics Speedstars....

Those Asics shoes look really nice. And not something I need since they say it's for runners with "a taste for speed." Where are the shoes for the runners who limp along ineffectively? :)

Wow - that is some great monthly mileage! And I love that you've already reached your goal for the whole year.
