Week 1: 3 miles (done!)
Week 2: 3 miles (done!)
Week 3: 3 miles (done!)
Week 4: 3 miles (done!)
Week 5: 3 miles (done!)

February

Week 3: 3.5 miles
Week 4: 3 miles

March

Week 3: 23 miles
Week 4: 6 miles

The major adjustments come in June and July. I've opted to NOT do the Sound to Narrows race given the half marathon is the same month. I want to be fully ready and reserved for that race.

I completed all my January 3-mile runs, and starting this weekend, it's time to up my game and transition into some longer distances. I'm ready; bring it on!
