6 months in, 2 years to go...

... and things have gone pretty well...

1. Have been running regularly and getting fitter.
2. Have gone from 168 pounds (in January) to 157.
3. Despite the aches and pains haven't had any real injuries (knock, knock, knock).
4. Have generally taken it slow and steady -- except perhaps for the last two weeks.
5. Have gotten in several 8-mile runs -- tying my longest ever -- and was still able to run the next day.

Some possible goals for the next 6 months (and a bit more) ...

1. Work up to 14 or 15 miles for long run.
2. Run to work one morning (14+).
3. Run some indoor races in January or February (NJ USATF Masters Indoor 2/28).
4. "Qualifiy" for the Ridgewood Masters One Mile by running 5:30 before Memorial Day.
5. Run a series of sub-7-minute pace races: 5k, then 10k, then 15k or 10 miles.
6. Run 21:00 (6-minute pace) for 3.5 mile Chase Corporate Challenge in June.

And take it slow and easy (which probably eliminates number 4 -- and maybe number 6 as well).
