So I'm curious to see what you do in 2013. I'll wager that it will be in the neighborhood of 4000. That's my guess.
Minnman, thanks! (really, no kidding!)

I always have trouble setting (and keeping!) goals for myself. Instead, I do much better if somebody else does it for me (Don't ask me why -- I don't know. It just works that way.) But, as long as life doesn't get in the way, I think I can do it. That's "only" 40 hundred mile weeks.

So... 4,000 miles in 2013 it is!

... But I'll have to step up the pace. Currently my mileage is down around 75 miles/week.
