Somewhat on a whim, I decided to try to run the year: 2017 miles in 2017. Breaking that down, that's around 5.5 miles per day, every day, or 38 miles per week, every week.
Realistically, I'm not going to run every day. Nor am I going to average 38 miles every week. Heck, I hit 30 this past week, and am only hoping for 30-34 this next week. So there is going to be a little bit of long-term planning involved.
At the same time, I can't really think about the whole year, or I get completely overwhelmed. I think I can do this. It's going to take some serious mental focus and more than a little motivation, but I think it's possible.
At the same, I have some other goals for this year. Some I've had before, but I'm approaching with new vigor this year. So here are my goals for 2017:
- Run 2017 miles.
- Run from Lake Superior to Eagle Mountain (I have a route now)
- Become a certified running coach (RRCA is the plan)
- "Run" the BRT.
I think #1 and #4 are the "reach" goals for this year. The others are more in line with past goals and possibilities.
It should be another good year.
