2017, you fabulous beast

It’s a wrap. December was a struggle, but that’s what a challenge should be. It’s the first time I’ve ever had to fight for 400K and it wasn’t in the bag until this ridiculously awesome workout.

December:

• 408, 394 steps
  • 9 days below goal (:( but not unexpected and better than December 2016’s 12)
  • December 2016 was 306,676. That’s insane!
• 179.18 miles run/walked
• 52.89 miles run

Q4:

• 1,322,011 steps
  • 12 days below goal
• 577.08 miles run/walked
• 158.08 miles run

2017:

• 5,097,869 steps
  • 54 days below goal (vs. 93! in 2016)
• 2,205.56 miles run/walked
• 472.41 miles run

Races:

• Frozen Penguin, my first ever run – 5K
• Central Park Spring Classic 10K
• Run to Breathe – 4M
• Run 4 the Warriors – 5K
• Retro 5 Miler
• Women’s Mini 10K
• Squirrel Stampede 10K
• Poland Spring Kickoff 5M
• Ted Corbitt 15K

I am insanely proud of myself, and I’m just going to leave it there. Am I worrying about 2018? Of course. I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t.  I’ve revamped the spreadsheet (and added this one) to take into account the monthly increments needed to hit my goals. I think I’ll still call it #GoTheDist even if that appears not to be back for 2018. As I just said to my RTY 2018 teammates:

It’s on like Donkey Kong!
