January Monthly Mileage Checkin

One of my goals for 2007 is to run 1,500 total miles this year. I set a goal to run 1,000 miles in 2006 and actually logged more than 1,200. So I think 1,500 in 2007 is attainable. That means I need to average 125 miles per month to hit 1,500 exactly, which translates into just under 29 miles per week.

Although this post is about two and a half weeks late, I figure I'll use my blog to chart my progress toward 1,500. (Besides, it will give me something to post at least once per month.) In January, I logged 100.6 total miles. Although that's 24.4 miles off of the 125-mile-per-month average I mentioned above, but January's lower mileage total can be attribued to the rest and recover following the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon.
