<\/p>\nJust an FYI – I don’t drink, ever. \u00a0You may wonder then why I commented in a post in Mark Zuckerberg’s “A Year of Running” group on New Year’s Day that I was going to try to run 1,000 miles in 2018. \u00a0Frankly, I don’t know why because it didn’t seem like a big deal when I wrote it. \u00a0Years ago, I would run 3 times that many miles in a year. \u00a0Now I am faced with a stark reality – it’s not going to be hard to do!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To compound matters, I saw a challenge in Strava to “Run 1,000 Miles in 2018”. \u00a0The challenge originates in London, so why it isn’t in kilometers, I don’t know. \u00a0If it was a 1,000 kilometer challenge, it would be so much easier, but it’s not.<\/p>\n
The people who started the challenge broke the challenge down and seeing what I have to do is what is causing me to lose sleep (not really).<\/p>\n
2.74 miles per day
\n19.23 miles per week
\n83.33 miles per month<\/p>\n
At the time that I am writing this, there are 25,170 members and trust me, I’m not on the leaderboard of the top 100 and will never be, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to try to reach the goal.<\/p>\n
It’s embarrassing that I have to work hard to run 20 miles a week, but so what. \u00a0At my age, I’m just thankful to be alive and running.<\/p>\n
So to be accountable, I am including two widgets from Strava. \u00a0One is daily workouts and the other is total activity. \u00a0Note that these don’t include my strength workouts or yoga – it is running only.<\/p>\n
So here they are and I’m putting these out there because I said that I was going to try and none of us will ever accomplish anything without trying, right!<\/p>\n
