Those of you who know me, know that I am a total and complete #numbersnerd.<\/p>\n

Must count the miles. \u00a0Must add up the miles by the week. \u00a0Must add up the miles by the month. \u00a0Must add up miles by the year.<\/p>\n

I’m a terrible #numbersnerd!<\/p>\n

Last year I signed up with #RunTheEdge for their Run 2015 miles in 2015 challenge. \u00a0It was a fun challenge and I ended up running 2400-ish miles in 2015. \u00a0I felt a lot of pressure to hit that magic number of 2015 and decided this year to not have a mileage goal.<\/p>\n

I know, right!?! \u00a0A #numbersnerd without a set mileage goal for an entire year!?!<\/p>\n

Stranger things have happened.<\/p>\n

When 2016 kicked off, I was facing some fatigue issues but I didn’t take the time to address the fatigue. \u00a0I had a marathon in January and an Ultra the first weekend of March. \u00a0As soon as I had recovered from the Ultra, I needed to focus on a marathon in the middle of June…..<\/p>\n

You get the idea. \u00a0I was running *literally* on an empty tank. \u00a0Something had to give.<\/p>\n

My coach had me rest up practically the entire summer. \u00a0My mileage dropped from 200 mile months to the low-mid 100 mile months. \u00a0I couldn’t remember when I’d run such low mileage! \u00a0I needed that down time. \u00a0I needed it bad.<\/p>\n

The Berlin Marathon arrived in September and I decided to run it and just have fun. \u00a0Sure, I would LOVE a PR but I wasn’t willing to gut it out in Germany. \u00a0I knew what was going to happen two weeks after I returned and I knew better than to jeopardize it.<\/p>\n

Two weeks after my return from Germany, 100 Mile Training kicked into high gear. \u00a0My nice, easy weeks and months from the summer were *poof* gone!<\/p>\n

Today is the last day of October and I added up my miles for the month. \u00a0Total miles for October: \u00a0212.64 miles. \u00a02016 miles to date: 1808.26 miles.<\/p>\n

I think(?) I will hit 2000 miles for 2016 but there’s no pressure. \u00a0I’m running because I love to run! \u00a0I’m running to be prepared for my events. \u00a0I’m running because I’m having the time of my life!<\/p>\n

Today’s run was 6 miles on the trails with a running friend of mine. \u00a0We ran out at Lake Lowndes State Park. \u00a0Gospel according the Garmin stated we had 1700′ elevation gain in those 6 little miles! \u00a0Holy Hills, Batman!!!<\/p>\n

We had tons of fun out there today!<\/p>\n

My plan, as it stands right now? \u00a0I’ll be adding my two short run days, Saturday and Monday as trail run days. \u00a0As I get stronger on the trails, I’ll be adding Thursdays and then eventually Wednesdays as well. \u00a0I NEED to get stronger on those hills and trails!<\/p>\n

100 Mile Race is February 4. \u00a0The clock is ticking! \u00a0 I’m feeling motivated, are you?<\/p>\n
