2017 Mission Accomplished
Last week I achieved my 2017 mileage goal of 1000 miles and it feels good. When I set that goal a year ago I felt it was attainable but would take effort and consistency. It was not an easy goal especially since I wasn’t training for a full marathon this year. Reaching 1000 miles with just normal weekly runs and not high-mileage training doesn’t allow much room for error.
- 2017 Mileage thru Dec 1.
As the graph below shows, my weekly mileage had some ups and downs. Overall I mostly stayed in a range of 15-25 miles a week. It’s obvious which weeks I was fighting some illness and missed several days those weeks.
I still have the month of December to go so I’ll probably end with about 1100 miles for the year. For an old guy like me trying to balance a demanding job, home life, social life, volunteer time and more, I’ll take it.
Now, what about 2018…?
