2016 miles?! Must be mental....

As if I haven't set myself enough targets for the year I've added another to the list: walking/running 2016 miles by the end of the year! The website sells the challenge like this:

Welcome to Run The Year 2016 – We’re challenging you to run, walk, or crawl 2,016 miles in 2016. We want you to use your feet to get you to the finish line. Run The Year with us and an amazing community of like-minded people who will encourage you, celebrate your accomplishments, and (most importantly) keep you running and walking as you cover 2,016 miles in a single year - See more at: http://www.runtheyear2016.com/#sthash.lB7czEho.dpuf

Well, figured I.... that's only 5.5 miles a day - or apprx 40 miles a week - I'm running 10 miles a week anyway - give or take - and I'm sure I walk enough to cover the rest what with running around after the kids! So I signed up....

So far its day 6 and I do seem to be on track and I have to say the facebook group is great with lots of enthusiastic friendly people all on their own unique journeys; some running the lot (mentalists!) and some doing what I'm doing and including their daily walking.   

So hey - If you are looking for a great group to join and feel like adding an extra challenge to your year - sign up and let me know so we can spur each other on!

ps - Club run was great last night! Ran with group 3 and covered 4 miles. Great start to the week!

pps - If anyone from my club reads this you'll be thinking - you didn't run with group 3! All our groups are being renumbered this month so it's actually group 1.5 but will soon be called group 3...
