Logged mere 130 miles. Nothing special, just a slow start. I do compare my current work with what I did in 2007 which is my best year in running so far.
Jan 2007 175.71 mi avg.pace 9:38
Jan 2008 130.08 mi avg.pace 8:59
Target mileage for Feb 08 is 200+ mi.
Last year I had seven months with 200+ miles, won't be satisfied doing the same things and I guess still have chances to hit 3000 this year.
P.S. Thanks Paul, (Man, I lost access/pass to my ..here@y.. mail account so can't restore it, can't write there now, will visit Astana in March) yes the weather is Superb for Jan-Feb period. But this season is not over yet, as for me, I better get ready for the worst scenario in February. I always have my hat-balaclava with me, you know, wind is so quick to suddenly appear here... We have less snow than last year, so can run faster.

Bill is a clever guy, I agree with him about Beijing. He could have been Great in Moscow 80 so he knows what he's talking about.

Hi Ruslan -
Good luck hitting your mileage in Feb. But remember, it's not just the "quantity" of miles, but the "quality" of some of those miles. Get some of those miles a bit more "up-tempo". Maybe run one Marathon Pace or even Threshold pace effort once a week.
Again, good luck, and have fun!
Good Luck with the oncoming training weeks. I'm constantly cursing our winter weather, but compared to what it's like over there at your place, I should just be happy.
I know Garmin have released the 405, I presume that's why I managed to get the 305 at half price. I just refuse to pay so much for a toy. It won't make me run any faster, but you were right. I can run anywhere I like and still know the exact mileage. It feels quite liberating!
