Hi Terrell, two years ago I set myself that same goal - 1,000 miles over the year. The good news: I did it! The really good news: It helped me to enjoy my running far more than when I’d been chasing times, and regularly getting injured.

Hi Terrell, two years ago I set myself that same goal - 1,000 miles over the year. The good news: I did it! The really good news: It helped me to enjoy my running far more than when I’d been chasing times, and regularly getting injured. One thing I did was slow down my running, which helped me avoid injury and to take in the routes I was doing. Running with people also helped the miles fly by. I’d definitely say with a challenge like that, finding enjoyment in it - rather than just slugging towards a target - is the most important thing. The other bit of good news, is that increasing your running will give you more energy to do those other things with your family, so it’s a win/win. Good luck with it and I hope the treadmill recovers soon! Best wishes, Craig (Running Tales)
"The really good news: It helped me to enjoy my running far more than when I’d been chasing times" -- this, especially, is what I like. I'm not really focused on time at all -- not interested, like you say, in "slugging towards a target." I will have to see what I can do to reconstitute a running group here in Atlanta -- wonder if there might be any takers among our subscribers here?
