                  My goal for a while now is to do a race every month. Actually,
                  I think it's been my goal since I started running. From the
                  graph above, however, it's pretty clear that this ideal hasn't
                  even been achieved on average until last year. I ran three
                  races in October of 2016, which made up for the months that I
                  missed. As you can see from my
                  training plan for 2017,
                  I've already got races I've signed up for in half the months.
                  This is a pretty good start, especially since I've already run
                  one in January and I've got another with Cara, Maxwell and Zara
                  next weekend. This includes three races in states where I've
                  never raced before, getting me closer to my goal of
                  racing in every state.
                  I'm struggling to find a good one for February though.
