Running to or from?

I have been running quite a bit lately. My goal is to run 1000 miles this calendar year. This is roughly triple what I ran last year. 1000 miles is well within the possible range for me. Hell, I think that I can do just about anything that I set as a goal. I now run for as often as possible and I set a different goal for each individual run. Some days I run fast and short, some fast and long or slow and recover/rest. Whatever the run maybe I have trouble not pushing myself to some sort of new best, whether I make it or not, I still try. This keeps me sharp, interested and intense while churning out the miles. I am behind where I need to be for the year, but no matter, I am making up ground and I will hit at a minimum 1000 miles.
