Abstract: I've started running (again) and, having recently read Murakami's "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running," I have been inspired to make monthly mileage goals. In the book, Murakami averages six miles a day (180-186 miles per month). There is no way I can manage that. Yet. So my first goal will be two miles a day. I doubt I will hit the goal the first couple months (especially in December, which is effectively a 20 day month due to the holidays), but I hope to work my way up to it and then to gradually increase the mileage. Tentatively, my goal for 2010 will be to run one-thousand miles. The progress below is formatted as: MM/DD/YY - [HH:]MM:SS ~ Approx. mileage ~ map. (An asterisk denotes interval running; the distance and time only reflects actual running time, not the walking segments of the intervals.)
