Somewhat Mid-Year Mileage Update!
So I had to switch to a new pair of shoes today and it’s been a while since I’ve done a mileage update, so LET’S GO!
Not counting today, I’ve walked/run 4,264.57 miles so far this year. That’s approximately 150 miles more than I’d done by this time last year and almost 700 miles more than I’d done by this time in 2023.
The ultimate goal is still 10,000 kilometers (about 6,200 miles)…can I do it???
TEN THOUSAND
So as I’ve mentioned on here several times, my goal this year was to walk/run 10,000 kilometers, or 6,213.712 miles. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to do it, but all the marathon/ultra marathon training really boosted my mileage (as did bumping my daily minimum to 18 miles instead of 17…and bumping my weekly “off day” mileage minimum to 6 miles) and I was able to hit my goal today! I actually hit it during the first half mile of my marathon run this morning, so that’s pretty freaking cool.
And just to put some perspective on things, last year’s mileage of 5555.55 was the furthest I’d ever gone in a year before this year.
Now am I going to take the next two weeks off?
HA. NO.
Like everything else I do, I’m going to keep pushing it. I may not be able to get to the next biggest mileage marker of 6,500, but I should at least be able to add a few hundred onto what I’ve got so far.
Which is why I’m not doing any sort of big distance analysis today. I’ll save that for January 1st like I always do.
BUT WOOOOOO!
10,000
A’IGHT, BITCHES, GUESS WHAT?
(Aggressively typing because I’m excited)
I just finished a pair of shoes the other day, so I logged all the miles I’ve walked on that pair into my little spreadsheet that contains my yearly distances. Observe a piece of this:
My yearly total mileage right now (or at the end of this pair of shoes) is 3933.83.
If I want to hit 10,000 kilometers for the year (6213.712 miles), I’ll need to walk/run another 2279.885 miles in the remaining 137 days of the year.
That’s an average of 16.6415 miles a day OR an average of 116.4905 miles per week (since I don’t walk/run the same distance every day).
I’ve been averaging about 130 miles a week recently.
SO. If I’m able to keep up that pace (or even a little bit less) per week, I should hit my goal of walking/running 10,000 kilometers this year!
That makes me super happy, yo. I didn’t know if it would even be possible.
But now I HAVE to do it.
