<p>Hi everyone, here’s the summary of the Masters July Kick Milage, along with a few highlights as well. I waited too long again and am combining the results of July with the reporting of August. I don't think I like doing it this way and will try to revert to separate threads next time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The previously decreasing numbers of reportees are holding fast at 10, and those 10 runners reported a total of 1309.75 miles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Evanflein 250.1</p>
<p>Dennis 183</p>
<p>Irunmike 174</p>
<p>Gobi 151</p>
<p>HappyFeat 148</p>
<p>Johnny 119.4</p>
<p>Hemerocallus 91.6</p>
<p>Orange Mat 72.4</p>
<p>Tamster 64.5</p>
<p>Ripvanracer 55.75</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Total: 1309.75 miles</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Median: (hard to do with an even #) 133.7 miles, midway between HappyFeat & Johnny</p>
<p>Mean: 131 miles Johnny closest</p>
<p>Gold Star Award: Evanflein 250.1 miles</p>
<p>On the Rebound Award: Hemerocallus (almost quadrupled her milage from June)</p>
<p>Summer Doldrums Award: Tamster (I can say this because I know her in reallife)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PR’s & other memorable stuff: Evanflein 2 race PR’s <span id="user_yui_3_4_0_10_1315003723078_14"><img alt="icon_salut.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_0_10_1315003723078_13" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif" style="width:23px;height:18px;"></span></p>
<p>HappyFeat 1^st 16 miler in a decade!! <span id="user_yui_3_4_0_10_1315003723078_41"><img alt="icon_salut.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_0_10_1315003723078_40" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif" style="width:23px;height:18px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now that I’ve been doing summary 4 months (and I’m only going back those 4 months), I’m observing a trend. Dennis, Irunmike, & HappyFeat are very consistent, running plus or minus 10 miles from their respective 4 month average each month.<span id="user_yui_3_4_0_10_1315003723078_50"><img alt="icon_salut.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_0_10_1315003723078_49" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif" style="width:23px;height:18px;"></span></p>

[Johnny]

<p>140.3 miles in August</p>

 

[HappyFeat]

<p>You do a great job at this, Johnny - thanks!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>166 miles for me in August - the most I've <span style="text-decoration:underline;">ever</span> done in one month</p>

 

[rlemert]

<p>Well, I've started my second try in 15 months to get back in the saddle - 6.5 miles, all at the end of the month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(I have managed to get two runs in so far in September, too.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I still have the problem of fitting the runs into everything else I'm doing, but at least it no longer feels like the chore it was when I quit.</p>

 

[irunmike]

<p>Johnny - thanks for doing this. It's a treat to see a monthly summary of the groups' exploits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice total, Happy!</p>
<p>Welcome back to the club, rlemert! Do it when it fits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My August tally: 220 miles</p>
<p>YTD: 1383</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Onward and upward!</p>
<p> </p>

[ripvanracer]

<p>Hi Johnny</p>
<p> </p>
<p>More than doubled the miles this month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>119.88 including 3 trail races</p>

 

[Hemerocallus]

<p>Thanks for the round up, Johnny!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>August wasn't too bad, considering all the vacation time and the heat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Total miles:  97.4</p>
<p>YTD:  837.8</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3 races, 3X3rd place AG (OK, there were only 3 in my AG for two of them, but I'll take it any way I can get it!)</p>

 

[Tamster]

<p>wow John, that's some impressive August mileage! I am so happy to see your numbers going back up like that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for my "award". At least I got some type of award in July, since i didn't much of anything else. . .</p>
<p> </p>
<p>but wait! I did even better in August! I only ran <strong>40.2</strong> miles! wowzers. I'm on quite a roll here. . . not a "roll" I want to be on though.</p>
<p>actually, 'tis all okay, because I was getting burned out on running and the heat wasn't helping and I decided to switch gears a bit and focus on other things.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>september will be better though. heck, after only a few days in september, I've already exceeded 1/4 of my August mileage. <span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

[OrangeMat]

<p>Hey Johnny, thanks for keeping this thread going. I ran a bit more in August than I've done in recent months, but I'm still not up to my pre-surgery mileage. But then again, I'm not down to my pre-surgery weight either, so there ya go... </p>
<p> </p>
<p>August = 135.6 miles running, 85.8 miles walking</p>
<p>YTD = 1050.4 miles running</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Onward and upward, indeed!</p>

 

[Dennis]

<p>I had 162 miles in August. Slightly down month due to a sinus infection.</p>

 

[evanflein]

<p>I just saw this! That's what I get for not popping in more regularly, I guess. Thanks for the tally, Johnny! You've got it easy compared to Wildchild's job over at RA...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>211.2 miles for me in August, with a 5k xc race PR of 23:35 (guess I should verify that... It sure seems like a PR). </p>
<p>1,726.7 YTD, which is the highest I've ever been at this point in the year before.</p>
