Run, Steve, Run

I had a goal of running over 100 miles during the month of June. I surpassed my goal, barely, ending up with 100.45 miles for the month. That's an average of 3.34 miles a day.

The highlight came on the last day of June when I set a new personal best time for running the 5K. I ran it in 23 minutes, 35 seconds; bettering my previous best (set in May) by 34 seconds. To get 23:35, I averaged a mile every 7:37. This is way faster than I run day in and day out. As a matter of fact for all of June I averaged one mile every 8:58.

1st mile 7:34
2nd mile 7:29
3rd mile 7:50
last tenth :40

So far in 2009 I have run 262 miles, which has burnt about 26,000 calories (about seven and a half pounds worth!)
