I just went through the history on my Garmin. I am at 483 miles, so far, for the year. I will pass 500, after my run Saturday. I realize there are people whol do a lot more, but I feel good about that number.
I went on mapquest and used my address in Spring Hill, FL as a starting point, to see where 500 miles would take me. Atlanta is less than 500. If I were to head north/west along the Gulf Coast, 500 miles gets me to Biloxi, MS (well...505).
So, I know I'm not the only crazy person that downloads their garmin to a laptop...How far did you run this year and where will that mileage take you?

    I run mostly on my treadmill since it's easier on my knees and hips, but do love a good outside run and completed my very first and 2nd 5K's this year. I didn't start running (again) and tracking it until July of this year and so far have logged 273 miles of running.

    where will 273 miles take you from home?

    LIKE!!!! I have running and biking, had a foot injury from May to July, so then I biked a lot. Totals this year....3725.93km/2328.7mls Where would this take me? lol Again...lots of biking, I think about a 1000mls. But I'm back to running now, bike season stopped in October. Coming saturday a half, weather forecast is storm! Hope we don't blow away....

    Cool idea! I've been logging and tracking my running miles for 9+ years now. I will end the year a little over 2,400 miles. That is enough to get me from my house in So Cal to Jacksonville, FL.

    I've actually been lusting over this HRM for the iPod/iPhone for a while now: http://www.scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/2218

    It tracks everything in your iPhone AND it's strapless! ;)

    Cool idea. So far this year I've tracked about 2775 miles (running, biking, swimming) enough to get me from my house in CA to Central Park in NY.

    On my iPhone I've used endomondo, which works pretty well GPS-wise.

    where will 273 miles take you from home?

    From my home in West Michigan to Sandusky, OH (so I've run all the way to Cedar Point!)

    Awesome! I actually just passed 500 miles on Saturday (since my Nike+ app re-started in March). But that doesn't include any of the milage I logged during CrossFit workouts or triathlons...

    I have run approximately 940 miles so far this year. That would get me from where I live in Columbus, OH to about Sioux Falls, SD.

    that is about 1100 from me. Might be a good goal for next year.

    Well considering I didn't run much in Jan and I didnt run at all Mar-May and nothing in Aug. Id say my 176.35 miles isnt too bad. More then half of that has been run in Sept-Nov.

    Glad my knee is better The summer sucked!
