Back in January I noticed I'd gone running every day for the first full week of the year, and decided to see if I could keep up the daily running for all of 2020. It wasn't a resolution or a commitment or anything, because when I make running commitments like that I tend to get hurt and spend four months out of commission, and then it takes a whole year just to claw myself back to where I was before I did something stupid. So, low-key. No commitment.
I kept it up well into the pandemic, and then in May I heard about a virtual "race" some people were having online in which participants try to run 1,000 km (about 621.37 miles) over the course of four months, from May 1st through August 31st. I found out about it after it started, but since I was already running about three miles every day and one needed to average about 5.1 miles daily to hit that goal, I figured I'd see if that was something I could maybe pull off. Again, low-key. Just on my lonesome.
Near the end of June, I realized that I was well ahead of schedule, and that if I could just manage to average a quarter-marathon or so per day (6.55 miles), I could actually finish by July 31st, a full month early. I did that. So yes, I ran 1,000 km in three months. Go me.
Since then, my low-key goal has been to run 2,000 miles over the course of the calendar year. I'm well on track, so as long as I don't get hurt, I think it'll work out. Here's my progress so far:
So now you know why I have so much time to watch scary movies. But, y'know, low-key. No pressure.
