5.1 miles on Tues and 4.16 miles on Friday... 588.19 + 5.1 + 4.16 = 597.45

Thanks for the post! Great information.

Ran a half marathon this morning (woo!)... So add another 13.1 miles: 346.54 total

I just ran across this thread. Since it began on 9/26 I've run 48.25 miles... 262.44 + 48.25 = 310.69

Good luck to everyone on their races! :smile: I'm running the Hartford 1/2 on October 15th and I can't wait.

I'm not sure what the RDA requirement is, but I always seem to have at least 25 grams a day. I think the key is eating whole grains (e.g. oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat pasta/bread), veggies and fruit.

My NSV is similar. Tonight I went for a 4 mile run on a loop I've done many times before. The kicker is at the end... a 6% grade that lasts for 0.2 miles. Guess what? Tonight I *sprinted* up the hill. I couldn't believe it! Talk about a great feeling to finally be able to conquer that hill!
