Mileage for the first week of February

I'm on track so far for hitting 100 miles this month!

Running: 26.9 miles
Cycling: 7.2 miles
Plus two strength training sessions

January 2010 mileage

I'll hopefully be posting my weekly mileage on a regular basis, so I might as well start with my monthly totals for January:

96.2 running miles
23.1 cycling miles

First Post

Welcome!

I've decided to start a blog about my running goals and my races. Hopefully I'll remember to keep up with it.

Running Goals for 2010:

-Stay healthy and uninjured! I need to continue to take care of my knee issues so they stay pain free and listen to my body so I don't injure anything else. I think this is the hardest goal.

-Run 100 miles a month.

-Run my second marathon... preferably with a huge PR :)

-Break 2:30 on a half marathon and 30 minutes for a 5K. Last year I was within a minute of each of those times...

Upcoming Races:

(so far, I'm sure more will be added)

February 27: Spring Thaw 10 miler
March 27: Just a Short Run half marathon
May 2: Pittsburgh half Marathon
June 20: Father's Day 5K
September 11: Ikea half marathon
October 10: Towpath marathon

Spring Thaw will be my first 10-miler, which means an automatic PR. I'm following the Ryan Hall training plan for the Pittsburgh half marathon, which is my "goal" race for the spring. I haven't picked out a training plan for Towpath yet, but my summer plans are still up in the air and I'm sure no matter what I plan right now, it will have to be changed.
