One year of Solid running

The baystate marathon will be about 1 year of solid running for me. I ran the 1/2 marathon last year after about two months of building up some mileage. But after baystate last year I began running regularly 4-6 times per week. Last month I posted my biggest month mileage wise to date (that includes the previous 33 years of my life as I had never been a regular runner)-186 miles is considered a light month to "real runners" but for me to complete it fairly comfortably with none of the pains and fatigue I was feeling 6 months ago after a 177mile month, I am quite pleased. I did not get in a run over 12 miles last week, but the two 12 milers I completed were "hilly" routes. So I was pleased with the volume and quantity of work last week but concerned because I didn't get in the 20 miler I need. I will be looking to get the long slow distance (i.e. 20 miler ) early this week.
