Chapter 2 page 441 - Training by the numbers

Well here we are - we've arrived at the day before my goal half marathon race.  Unbelievably. . . it's tomorrow.  Tomorrow.  Man, when it was 116* heat index this summer it felt SOOOOO far away and yet, here it is!  I've certainly put in all the time and effort and I've improved so much in my 5K and 10 Mile race that I'm eager to see how I've improved at the 13.1 distance.  I wanted to take a brief moment to do a look back at my training and compile a little bit of fun "by the numbers" to measure exactly how far I've come.  
So without further delay:
TOTAL NUMBER OF WEEKS IN TRAINING CYCLE:  18
TOTAL NUMBER OF TRAINING SESSIONS: 61 COMPLETED/65 PLANNED
TOTAL NUMBER OF MILES COMPLETED: 309 MILES COMPLETE/320 MILES PLANNED
TOTAL NUMBER OF LONG RUNS OVER 10 MILES: 8
TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE I TRAINED WITH: 5
TOTAL NUMBER OF RACES DURING CYCLE:  10
HIGHEST WEEKLY MILEAGE: 23.54 MILES

HERE'S TO HOPING THE RACE IS A GREAT ONE AND I GET A SUB 3!!!  
Thanks for following my journey in prep for this half.  
Don't worry there's plenty more training drama to follow - I still have 3 more halfs after this one :)
