There are a zillion other tidbits I could add to this post. But there is enough info in here as it is!
What are your halfway through 2013 stats? Feel free to copy and share on your blog!
Themocracy
I am so impressed that you have stats on all of this. Other than miles ran, I would be all like, “Uh, let me think, uh.”
Also on my list of goals for the rest of the year is a road bike. It’s actually on Mark’s list for 2013 to get me a road bike as I’ve already put in a holiday gift request.
Ha ha, thanks! I like spreadsheets. So I track a lot of stuff! I had to look up the amount of strength workouts out. How many classes do you think you have taught this year? Hmm, maybe I will add that to my year end recap 🙂
What?! You are not waiting for December, are you? You meant… Labor Day holiday?!
Oooh, I might have to copy this – I’ve never really tracked any of my stats on anything but a weekly basis.
I kind of forget that you just started teaching SO recently! Probably because you’re already such a pro at it 🙂
I do feel as though our half outfits set the bar for any future race I may run. I mean, I already knew to go matchy-matchy, but I’ll need to stock up on sex shop sparkly flowers.
Yeah! You should! It’s fun to keep track of yearly stats! And then to have them to compare to the previous year is fun, too!
Aww, thanks! I am in my fifth month of teaching! Crazy!
Stock up on ALL things sex shop. Meko approves.
It would definitely be interesting to compare – I’ve already far exceeded last year’s mileage! Big surprise there 😉
That is awesome! Congrats!!!!
If you do post this, I expect to have a special line “miles run with Kim.”
I think you mean “Miles Running Away from Kim” hahahaha.
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
“Miles spent dreaming about Henry”…
I thought that was assumed as part of “Miles Run.”
At least 90%. The other 10% is thinking of blog posts. Hmm. But there is also a food daydreaming percentage too…
hah I’m so honored you liked my post. You even had a much more detailed one than I did! (And you were brave enough to add up what you spent on races…I decided to live in the dark on that!)
What made you pick 1620 for mileage?
Ha ha ha! I have a spreadsheet with all the $$$ so I couldn’t avoid it! 😉 So far, I am under $50 for the second half of the year. 😉
Thanks for letting me copy!
1620 is what I ran last year. So it would be nice to go over that!
Wow, you continue to amaze me with your stats! So cool when you write it all out.
I’m interested to hear your progress on “eating for energy” since this is one of my recent goals too!
Thanks!
If I come up with anything worth posting, I will definitely share it! I tend to have a lot of energy when I am not binge eating and when I am eating mostly unprocessed foods. The hard part is doing it!
I love this list! So impressive Kim! YAY for the running tights! 🙂
I got the Chewie outfit!!!
YES! Thank you for being cool! Ha!
Amazing! I love that you track all of this!! I only track mileage run and usually track what’s on my shoes, but since I’ve been alternating shoes, I have no idea… Guess I will know when they start to hurt?
The $ spent on race is brave!! I pretend that I spend hardly anything and remain in denial about the actual cost :/
And a big YAY that you linked to my blog! Guess it’s official 😉
IT IS OFFICIAL! Excited!!! I am going to tell everyone about it 🙂
Do you use daily mile? I don’t, but everyone says there is a really easy way to track shoe mileage on there. I just track it on my blog sidebar and update it after each run 😉
I wonder what everyone else’s race $$$ numbers are! 🙂
P.S. You should totes fill out something like this for your blog. 🙂 Or the ABCs meme that is going around.
Wow! Nice first half 🙂 I was just thinking about my stats today (and my dusty blog). You continue to inspire and impress me. Rock your exam. I miss running with you!
Thank you! Update your dusty blog!!! Didn’t you race today? That gives you something!
We should run together soon! Let me know what times/days work for you. I remember NOT early in the am. Hee hee.
Nice highlight reel of the 1st 6 months of 2013. That’s probably more than my highlight reel will be for 12 months!
Whaaaaaaaaa. No way. Unless you are talking about money spent and not miles? Ha!
1. I totally got and totally loved your Chewie costume.
2. The purple shirt is pretty though, so good runner-up choice 🙂
3. Your consistency in working out / running always impresses me. Good job! I love that you can run for fun.
4. I’m really intrigued by the idea of eating for energy. I want a whole post (or email) about what this means to you! (Ha! Being a demanding reader.) Is it more than ‘less crap food?’ Is there anything you really like as a ‘good’ food?
Thank you! 🙂
It is more “less crap food.” I will try to come up with something to write, if I get there. I just feel best if I don’t eat a lot, and eat more natural stuff. This winter, I was eating so healthy I had all this energy and couldn’t sleep… I was so excited to wake up and start my day! And it transferred over to my running pace, too!
nice recap! are you back scratching or posing in that photo?!!
My basics are limited:
Miles 1122 right now.
Shoes- hmm 3 right now.
Struggles: get sleep, no over train, and not let running consume my family life
Goals next 6 months: Not lose my friends with excessive running jabbor and not get hurt!
No races or anything to talk about.
People: my wife for putting up with my super early run times!
Ha! Posing! I am totes a poser.
Wait. Have you not raced this year? I thought you were training for something? (excuse my not knowing)
My stats are definitely not where I expected them to be so I won’t bother posting, but I can’t wait to do this next year. On the one hand I’m loving what I’ve accomplished despite what this year has brought (that makes a baby sound terrible haha – I’m thrilled about both!) and on the other hand it makes me eager to see where this me will go next year! I love your stats, you are SO close to 1,000!
You have such a great perspective about it all! Have you still been walking a lot? Is running still possible? 🙂
I like this post idea! It’s so fun to look back and reflect on all that you’ve accomplished in the past 6 months!
Wow! You’ve already accomplished so much this year! And I really like your goals for the next 6 months. A road bike?? More trapeze?? Excellent 🙂
I am seriously impressed with these numbers. I can’t believe you’ve already run almost 1000 miles halfway through the year! That was my original goal for the whole year before getting injured. Nice work! Having friends to run and workout with is so much fun, and congrats on starting to teach the group fitness class! It sounds like that is an area that you’re really passionate about! You’re going to have an amazing end to 2013. And I particularly love the acquiring a road bike. I love mine so much (as you can probably tell).
Aww, thanks! I bet you are racking up the road bike miles! I think your ride this am was almost more than what I have ridden all year? 🙂
I got your Chewie outfit on May 5th! 🙂
YAY!!!
Sounds like you are having a great year so far! And you inspired me to start looking at road bikes. Not sure I’ll get one but it’s so tempting!
