    Since I'm falling so far behind, I think I may try to up my miles for a while. I think I need to change my philosophy to "shoot for the stars so I at least hit the moon" instead of the current strategy of "just getting to the moon" and possibly falling short and never making it.

    Instead of a goal of 4 miles / day for 5 days a week (M-F), I'm going to shoot for 5 miles a day for 5 days a week. Need to get back on track after a couple of weeks of nursing some injuries and just being plain lazy because work has been sucking the energy from me.

    Then whatever I get on the weekends will be bonus miles (with a secondary goal of getting at least 5 extra miles over the course of the weekend).

    That would be 25-30 miles per week as a new goal (1100 - 1320 miles in the next 44 weeks), and gives me a bit of a buffer until the end of the year for 'bad' weeks. And even if I just get 20 miles some weeks, that's still just barely enough to get me to 1000 miles by the end of the year (20 x 44 weeks left = 880 miles + 124 already done = 1004 miles total).

    25-30 miles a week is a HUGE stretch for me, but it wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy, right?!

    I'm in the process of taking a long break from the forums for a while. Life's just too busy right now for me. I'm not really logging miles right now either as I'm just trying to get any type of activity minutes in right now. We'll see if I continue this, I might bounce back in this challenge in a month or two...I just need to focus more on a variety of activities rather than just miles as some things in my life are taking a backseat to exercise when I'm shooting for mileage only rather than minutes of activity/exercise, and I need to get a better balance.
