1011.83km
Seven months ago I guessed that I could hit a target to run at least 1000km over the calendar year. Well, I achieved it …just !
The recorded total for the year was 1011.83 km. I just scraped it really though I was somewhat hampered by acquiring a decent grade cold during December.
I could do much better of course - 610 miles over a year is nothing for the more committed runner. I’ve probably recorded higher annual totals myself in previous years but over the last 12 months I’ve had the new, time-consuming interest of the allotment (though, judging by the state of the plot, not time-consuming enough). Getting quite literally whacked by the chicken pox back in May cost me a very spotty and itchy week and a half that won’t happen this year.
No predictions yet for 2008. Do need to enter Liverpool Half soon though.
Despite the graft I do enjoy it. Here’s to Running Outside!

John
Well done!
You set yourself a target and you made it!
So, stop seeing the negative side of only 610 miles and instead give yourself pat on the back for the efforts of 2007.
Now then, it’s 2008, so what will be achieved this year…?

940 here. Should have shot for 1000 miles I guess! Have you seen Matt’s totals? Ouch. He’s taking up running - watch out!

@ Mike …haven’t yet decided on a target for this year.
@ Steve …940miles - top effort! Yeah, I subscribe to Matts blog …he needs help really, he’s evidently not of sound mind.
