4 miles @ 10:23

For a number of years I ran over 1000 miles a year. Last year I only made it to 885 before stopping to let injuries heal. I started running again a little over a week ago, on Feb 10.  My goal, old body allowing, is to make it to 1000 miles again by the end of the year. I'm  referring to it as my journey of a thousand miles (1000M). Here's my status so far:

1.0 @ 12:43/mi
2.25 @ 11:23/mi
2.75 @ 11:48/mi
3.0 @ 11:09/mi
4.0 @ 10:23/mi

13 of 1000M

The distances are slowly getting longer and the pace is slowly getting faster. I hope the pattern continues all the way to 1000M.
