It’s a brand-new
year. Runners have re-set our personal goal charts for 2019. All our
year-to-date mileage totals reverted to zero on New Year’s Day. We’re plotting
our routes on new charts. We’re penciling in future races and runs on new
calendars. We’re recording new monthly miles on calendars and online trackers.
What’s your 2019 running goal?
Here’s mine – or at
least one of them. I re-registered for the Run the Year Challenge.
That means I’m signed up to run 2,019 miles in 2019.
That’s a whole lotta miles, right?
But I hope to get
it done. Actually, this will be my third year in a row in this annual running
goal program. I met the total each year (even a little ahead of time). But
anything can happen in 12 months. I am grateful that I wasn’t sidelined
long-term by injuries or illness. Multiple sclerosis tried to topple me a few
times along the way, but the miles somehow added up anyway.
That means I’m
game to try this crazy challenge again in 2019.
So here we go!
Who’s with me?
Hey, there’s a finishers
medal involved and new bibs (OK, online images of bibs) and a tee shirt
involved. Gotta try to make it fun, right?
I'll be recording
my progress on this site. Please c'mon back, and see how I do. (I could use the
accountability.)
