1000 miles for the year and running streak plans

One of my goals for 2016 was to run 1000 miles.  I was able to achieve that today when I ran my long run of 7.5 miles.  At this point there are 35 days left in 2016.  I decided to do something else, log at least 1 mile each day for the rest of the year. I think this is something I can accomplish even if it's dark and I need to use the treadmill at times.

I ran a Thanksgiving 5k which really turned out to be a 3 miler (not quite a 5k).  I was happy with my finishing time, which was about 30 seconds more than my current PR, which I didn't expect.  I wasn't sure after the marathon how I would do coming back from not running very often, but it worked out.

I have another 5k next weekend and then after that nothing until New Year's Day.  Not sure if I'll try to run the next 5k fast or if I'll just take it leisurely.  I guess it all depends on how I feel that day.

It's nice to have the 1000 mile goal done for the year with 35 days to spare.  Not sure I'll make it to 1100 but at this point just happy with whatever I get.
