A couple of weeks ago, my husband mentioned to me that he was thinking about running a ton this year. The goal he was tossing around was 500 miles. I looked at him like he had a second head and thought to myself... 'yeah, when pigs fly'.
Yet here I am today, embarking on the very same journey. 500 miles in 1 year.
First off, I am not a runner. Nope. I do not even have the slightest inclination to want to run. EVER.
I have decided that I am going to walk 500 miles in 1 year.
I have figured it out mathematically, and it actually shouldn't be that hard.
1.5 miles a day for 365 days = 547.5 miles!
The overage of miles allows for off days. 47.5/1.5 = 31.67 free days throughout the year!!
Now of course, if I walk more than one and a half miles a day then I get ahead of my goal, which is perfectly fine too.
I have a bit of an unfair advantage right now, because I generally walk 1.5 miles 3-4 days of the week already. However, I will be adding more days so I believe this will be an excellent challenge for me.
I am scared though!
500 MILES!!??
