After breaking the 700 mile barrier last year and running my first half-marathon, 1000 mile is a good goal for this fairly novice runner. I have another Half-marathon in Vienna coming up March 25 (near term goal). Longterm, I want to start lowering my personal 5k times when I return to the US after my work assignment in Romania concludes later this year. I think this bigger base will really help. Chasing the bunny will hopefully help keep me motivated after this Half-Marathon until the next race.
