It's March already??

Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that it was New Year's and now it's St. Patty's day. Well, within that time I have nursed a sick child, gotten lazy, and fallen behind on my running. My best bud challenged me to a goal for this year which is double what I had initially intended upon doing so I am somewhat stressed trying to fit it all in. I thought 180 miles last fall was bad, I am going to be running ragged just to get in as much as I can because 1000 miles? 1000? Really? I don't know. I calculated it out and found that since I started up so late I have to log at least 25 miles each week throughout the rest of this year. No breaks, no vacations, no excuses. I know some of you think that isn't that hard but when I go with my walking partners, they go at a pace which only allows me to do about 4-5 miles in my allotted time frame. And then on the rare occasion that I am able to go myself, I go faster but I often do less than I would have with a buddy. So today I am at 19 miles for the week and it's Thursday. I have to make up an extra mile or two tomorrow and/or run on Saturday also. Working around The Man's schedule can be difficult but having to take the three Things with me is even more challenging. Wish me luck!
