Still trying to get there

I knew the road to hitting 700 miles wouldn't be easy. Throw a new puppy in there and some leg issues and it gets even harder. I know, no excuses, right?

I think I still may be able to get close to 700 though. My running volume isn't near where it should be. I'm beating myself up for that. I'm going to break things down though, other than my body. I'm going to try doing more frequent shorter runs to get my volume up quicker. I'm going to be running 2 a days for awhile. With having 3 dogs, and 2 kids, and school starting soon, as well as soccer practice, I think it will be easier. Not that running a lot of miles is easy, but if I can run 3-4 miles in the morning, it will be easier to get another 3-5ish miles in in the evening when life gets in the way. I can run a couple of miles while the kids are at soccer practice or after homework is done. I have to give it a try.

I'm actually looking forward to it. I know I can knock out shorter runs no problem. Hopefully it won't take too long of doing shorter runs that the longer runs on the weekends become easier.

I know running a marathon is going to hurt. I just want to do what I can to be prepared to make it to the finish line.

I'll update my mileage later.
