Sometime in April, I realized that if I put my mind to it, it might be possible to do 1000 kms of running by the year end. It was especially gratifying last Friday when I went past that milestone with 2 weeks to spare. I intend now to end the year with a 20 km/week average and hit 1040 which will serve as a nice little tax reminder for me!
This was the 2nd year of serious running for me. I had not logged my runs in 2007. In April, I read an article about an Air Marshal who had logged 89,000 kms since starting his running in his late 40s over a 3+ decade period. I am not afraid of setting lofty goals, but I want to throw in a sense of realism in my goal setting.
1000 kms was the first goal.
I will switch out of metric and shoot for 1000 miles in 2009.
