Day 28
It's almost the end of the month and I realized I hadn't updated any of my status lately. It hasn't been because I haven't been doing the work, I just haven't sat and gotten it down here.
Day 1 - 6.24 miles
Day 2 - 3.55 miles
Day 3 - 8.17 miles
Day 4 - 5.07 miles
Day 5 - 4.17 miles
Day 6 - 5.63 miles
Day 7 - Rest
Day 8 - Rest
Day 9 - 6.41 miles
Day 10 - 9.08 miles
Day 11 - Rest
Day 12 - 5.27 miles
Day 13 - 4.52 miles
Day 14 - 4.22 miles
Day 15 - Rest
Day 16 - 4.73
Day 17 - 4.73
Day 18 - 5.05
Day 19 - Rest
Day 20 - Rest
Day 21 - Rest
Day 22 - 5.8
Day 23 - Rest
Day 24 - 12.04
Day 25 - Rest
Day 26 - 3.48
Day 27 - 5.05
Day 28 -
Day 29 -
Day 30 -
That brings it all up to date. Only the three days left in the month but I have a total of 103.7 miles for September. It was the goal to hit the 103 miles this month because I had gone through all my stats since 2010 and the last time I had a distance that high in a month was September 2011. That's a lot of years in between without coming close to that distance in a month.

Day 14
It is the end of Day 14 and I'm still here. It may not seem that way but I am. Never left, still on the program, still chugging away at it every day. Or mostly. I can give a run down of activities to prove it and so here it is.
Day 1 - 6.24 miles
Day 2 - 3.55 miles
Day 3 - 8.17 miles
Day 4 - 5.07 miles
Day 5 - 4.17 miles
Day 6 - 5.63 miles
Day 7 - Rest
Day 8 - Rest
Day 9 - 6.41 miles
Day 10 - 9.08 miles
Day 11 - Rest
Day 12 - 5.27 miles
Day 13 - 4.52 miles
Day 14 - 4.22 miles
That's a total of 62.34 miles if my calculations are correct and tomorrow is mid-month with a half month still to go. Not such a bad showing so far. The momentum is building. Let's see where it goes from here.

Day 8
It's early before work and I haven't headed out for an early morning run. I have another scheduled rest day for today so it wasn't in the plan. I did think about it when I knew I woke up with enough time but I guess if I make myself follow the plan when I DO need to run I should at least follow it when I'm not supposed to run. They say rest is important.
I will reserve my prerogative to change my mind if this afternoon creeps up on me and I decide to take an easy 3 mile run today instead of tomorrow or do it today and tomorrow. My concern is for the long run on Saturday since I've committed to another appointment that may take my allotted time. There goes life again. Getting in the way of my life. But it hasn't yet. I need to be proactive in taking action to figure it out.
Day 8 - 0 miles (so far)
Monthly total - 32.87 miles

Day 7
I am up later than usual but I purposely set my alarm this time. It isn't like Day 1 when I missed an entire 45 minutes of extra morning time to run 3 miles. That day worked out fairly well in the end with some adjustments to the day. The plan is still in place and today's later awakening is all in that same plan. Here is a simple rundown.
Day 1 - 6.24 miles
Day 2 - 3.55 miles
Day 3 - 8.17 miles
Day 4 - 5.07 miles
Day 5 - 4.17 miles
Day 6 - 5.63 miles
It was an aggressive first week but since I made up the plan using four or five other 'real' plans I know I can do some change-up if necessary. It hasn't been necessary and today was a planned rest day. Tomorrow is too, but I might use my prerogative to change it up. I haven't made that decision yet.

It's Day one.
I set my alarm for 4:50 instead of 4:05. That simple transposition of a zero and a five made the difference in having the time to get a simple three mile run done early this morning or not. I was happily going to hop right out of bed when the alarm rang to get myself geared up. Instead I'm sitting here in front of my laptop racing with my fingers instead. It doesn't count. So I will need to gather myself and make a simple plan B. This won't be thwarted on the first day!
The schedule will need to shift. It will need to be moved to later this afternoon instead of early pre-dawn. I will stick to the plan I made and see where it takes me. I can't always plan without knowing there will need to be room for change.
September 1, 2016 - 0 miles :(
