So I have set off to run/walk 700 miles in 2013 (#14). Today it's a little over 1/6 of the year in the books I'm at 44.5 miles walked and 10 ran. Not really impressive numbers. I should be closer to 116 miles at this point of the year and thus I'm already halfway behind.
Walking has been easy especially when I'm on the road in NYC I would say 85% of these miles were from my travel. The biggest challenge in NYC aside from the cold is making sure I turn on my app to track the steps and miles, I'm quite certain that this number should be higher because I can think of several walks I didn't turn the app on for (recently I decided to just not close the app which helps me remember). When I'm home I've been filling my time with wedding projects and spending time with Dustin and friends and it's been snowy and cold which makes for walking outside not exactly fun and I've never been a big fan of going to the mall to walk.
Running has taken a huge backseat this year - I am back down to running 1-2 miles rather than 4, and when I go I really dread it - I feel my sense of dislike toward running growing again. I'm hoping warmer weather and getting off the treadmill will help.
Regardless all this needs to change if I'm going to make up ground and get back on track. With that said I added running/walking to my to-do list for this coming week and I'm hoping to push myself to run further and not worry about the mile times as much.
