A Runner's Journey
I used to have no goals or keep track of my distance or my time when I took up running in 2002. Later I started wearing a running watch and found mapping apps so I could know the distance. I used RunningAhead after Voomaxer shut down at the end of 2011.
Lately I charted my running distance by month for 2012 till now:
In the first block, I had a goal of 30 miles/week, with each week having at least one long run (10 miles or more) one barefoot run and a pace of 8:00/mile overall for the week. I made all three goals most weeks for ages, until the wheels came off and I just couldn't do it any more. Yes, even in the winter, there was almost always one day warm enough for a barefoot run--my record cold was 27F but it was sunny and dry, so the pavement was warm. The next phase was 100 miles/month, which again, I did until I couldn't keep up with it. Finally, the phase I'm in now: 60 miles/month and I'm pretty psyched if I get below 9:00/mile on a given day, which happens a few times/month.

You're Allowed To Do It
But whenever a non physician has Dr. in front of their name, their intellect is never past second rate. To wit...
