One of my goals this year is to break the 1000 mile barrier. I’ve been in the 900s the last two years since I started keeping track and running more miles. However, discretion has been the better part of valor, and while dialing back the miles after fall marathons I’ve come up short. This year might give me a better shot, since my 1 month running break started in December and ended part of the way through January. Last year my layoff was the month of March, with no spring marathon.

I went over 500 miles Saturday the 8th. It’s looking good so far!
