NSV- 1000k!

Had to report an exciting non-scale victory for today! Have been tracking all of the kilometers that I've run since starting a race to Greece challenge with a friend December 1, 2011. We are running the equivalent distance of Ottawa, Canada to Marathon, Greece and paying ourselves for each km so that in the end we will have enough money to fly to Greece to run the Athen's marathon. Today I passed the 1000km mark! we originally hoped to pass 1000km per year, but am thrilled to pass this mark just 9 months in, and things are only getting better- am in the last 8 weeks of training for this year's marathon, so will be racking up some big mileage in the next couple of months. Am wondering if I can manage 1500km this year...hmmm.

Have to attribute a lot of success to MFP- this year I am definitely stronger and faster than ever before! I look back and cannot BELIEVE I was carrying around almost 40 extra pounds on every run! The difference has been amazing, I set a new personal best on my half marathon August 19th, and my average pace has decreased by almost a minute per km!

What are your running victories? and what NSVs are making your day??

Wow, great feedback loop there: running leads to saving money, which leads to travel, which leads to celebratory running!
