    Note to self: *keep better track in 2014*. I do know it was just over 1,000. I did run my first half marathon in 2013 and damn proud about that! :happy:

    I never count my miles. I get my training in, but dont keep a running count. I couldn't tell you much other than the 5 halfs, one full, 10 miler, and several 5ks.

    This was my first year of running consistently I started tracking my miles in February and I ran 345. My mileage really started increasing in September.

    1722 total miles in 2013, 1513 of them strictly running.

    I didn't start logging until August 2012, but what I did log was only around 350 or so miles, so this was a huge difference!

    My goal for 2014 is 2000 total miles, which doesn't necessarily include just running (I also hike a lot in the summer, and do a small amount of biking, so I count those too, but the majority will be running).

    I really wish I knew I was going to love running so much when I started in March of 2013. I didn't log any of my runs for the first probably 4 months.

    Got a Garmin for Christmas so now I'll keep really good track! :)

    I hit 500. Compared to a lot of you, that's nothing.

    I've been running sporadically for basically my entire life, and this is the first time I've really decided I wanted to stick with it. However, I spent the summer out of the country and ran maybe 30 miles between June and August.

    However, throwing walking and hiking in there, probably upwards of 3000.

    Goal for 2014 is 1000.

    What was your yearly mileage? Was it better than last year?

    Not sure to be honest. My goals however really are to improve my running times than increase mileage. Increasing mileage would not necessarily be good as it may increase burnout chances.

    Increasing mileage is the most commonly accepted method for a sustainable increase in pace over time.

    2012, no idea. But I do know it wasn't as much as 2013.

    2013:
    84.95 miles hiking
    528.35 miles cycling
    730.75 miles running
    ...
    65# x5 overhead pressed
    95# x5 bench pressed (thanks to my sneaky trainer)
    155# x8 deadlifted
    165# x11 squated

    To run longer, incorporate speed work.
    To run faster, incorporate longer, slow runs.

    2013: I got a late start and ran
    ??? miles total in October
    86.64 miles total in November.
    118.1 miles total in December.
    At least 204.74 miles

    I didn't track in 2012. I ran a few months on treadmill then stopped after my weight was under control and started lifting heavier. Then I stopped altogether around Christmas time. Then I got fat and gained about 30 lbs. I started back up October of this year and going stronger than ever.
