Mile One Thousand - 7 miles (1,000.26 total)

7.78 miles (Garmin link)
1:01:07
7:51 pace

Chris and I ran the usual route this afternoon - aiming to just break my 1K mark. Feeling a bit less tired than Monday; we ended up going farther at the same pace. Nice weather; just starting to get warm but still with a cool breeze. More rain coming for the weekend.

Glad to have passed this milestone. I don't know if I would have kept running with the same regularity if not for the goal. I'll have to think about a new goal now. Maybe I'll see what my mileage has been so far for 2009 and come up with a goal for the calendar year. Would 1,500 miles be doable?

On second thought, it might be best to pay less attention to overall mileage, and instead concentrate on marathon training. I would like to complete in at least the Philly marathon next fall - New York if I can get in, and if things go really well, Boston next April.
