Mission Cincuenta September: Accomplished, Part II

At the beginning of September, I set a goal for myself: RUN 50 MILES IN SEPTEMBER.

I made a chart.

I'm happy to say, 30 days (and one crappy month) later, I met my goal.

Some of the runs I did were a huge test of mental toughness more than physical ability. 

I had a helper with me today, much like I did with my last few miles of my 2012 Cincuenta September success story.

My last 3.5 miles were done with my littlest cheerleader, and I'm actually very proud of myself for sticking with it and making it to the end to reach my goal.

So now I need to set a goal for October, because I know that I need to have some sort of goal in order to actually do something.  But I'm going to do it a little different and call it...

OCHENTA OCTOBER

 

No, I will not try and run 80 miles in October.  My new goal is to exercise (in some form) for 80 minutes per week.  I'm including this week, so there will be 5 weeks.  Therefore, I'm aiming for 400 minutes of exercise in October.

 

We'll see how that goes...
