1 week into 2009

So, I have gotten off to a decent start for the year. For the first week I logged 23.5 miles, which puts me 4.25 over the pace I need to have to reach my goal. For some this may seem like a modest number, however, for me, I think it is the most distance I have logged in one week. I do intend to increase my mileage gradually, and hopefully around fall I will be logging in the 30 mile range. If I reach the 30 range I may just step it up from that point an begin training for my first full marathon, we'll have to wait and see. Overall, I am feeling quite stong and healthy at this point.
