Week 4 Progression, making strides to reaching the goal

How is everyone's running going?  How has setting a goal been beneficial for you? So for those of you that are new to running now would be a good time to either increase your mileage by 1 mile or 5 minutes, depending on how you are feeling. This will help you progress and get closer to reaching your goals.
