Can I get to 3000k's for the year

Currently on 2914 after doing my run today so have 86k's to run next week to reach the goal, am aiming for about 95k so hopefully should do it.

This week in summary 93k 7h34m Avg Pace4m53s.

Runs
Tues 13k500m 1h7m15s
Wed 21k100m 1h39m52s
Thur 8k500m 41m36s
Fri 14k500m 1h12m
Sat 8k800m 45m12s
Sun 26k600m 2h8m21s

Felt great for most of the week but struggled for motivation on the long run today and stopped a few times especially the last 5k's as couldn't really be bothered and right hammy was a bit tight. Need to start drinking more as it was quite warm and only had a drink of water from fountain at City Beach 10k and Churchlands 20k after running down to Scarborough.

Focus for the next few weeks is continuing to increase long runs, work on drinking strategy as well as doing some tempo work which means I need to be disciplined re not running too fast on other days. Long runs should be about 10-20% slower than Goal marathon pace so I should be working on running mine at 5.00 pace or thereabouts.

Welcome to the 3000km club !! I saw that you've booked flights to Canberra. I think April is too soon for me so I might be doing Goold Coast in July.
