Your January challenge
Saturday, December 31, 2011 at 05:30AM To celebrate my completion of 2 years of running at least a mile every day. this morning I ran / walked 10 miles, the furthest I have managed in 6 months.
It wasn't fast. At an average pace of 11 minutes 17 seconds per mile, most competitive runners would turn their noses up at that sort of performance.
But I swear by combining running and walking, as championed by former Olympian Jeff Galloway. I used his training methods to complete my most enjoyable marathon in New York eight years ago.
Seeing as it's New Year's Eve and everyone's making their new year's resolutions, I challenge you to take on the one I set myself two years ago today, and that was to run (or you can run/walk) at least a mile each day for the month of January.
Who knows where that might take you?
My own challenge expanded dramatically from January to an experiment that in the last 2 years has taken me over 1600 miles and 276 hours of running.
I'm still experimenting to see where it takes me next.
Happy New Year to you!
