It was a nice, easy run around family housing and a good start to the week. I'm just trying to be consistent and slowly build miles, so I can have a good base later in the year. I don't have specific mileage goals right now, but I'd like to get above 1500 at least, and more would be nice. The key for me will be to not have too many gaps, which have been coming at the beginning and end of the year. I think if I can get my miles more consistent, I could easily go under 3:00 in the marathon and could go under 2:50 pretty realistically. Last year I was on pace for under 3 hours through 17-18 miles then I had a sharp pain in my knee. It was strange since it hasn't hurt since, but my training wasn't fantastic for most of the year last year, so if I can be better this year, I think I'll be in a better position to go faster.
