1000 Miles or Bust!

Skunked in the 1st quarter, so I’m starting the 2nd quarter in Skunk Canyon

Just took a quick jaunt up Skunk Canyon today from the house (3.3 mi) after last week’s snowstorm. I had to start out April on a better note than March ended on, though I am happy about the new windows. But the first quarter totals were only about 136.55 miles out of the 250 needed. Even worse, I managed only 36.55 miles in all of March–much worse than in the previous two months, and lowering my percent-on-track to just 54% of goal. It’s not good to have the numbers be dropping…this is the time of year when I need to be stepping it up!

How long?” to “Cool, but you should give yourself extra mileage for elevation gained” to “Does jogging/walking/biking count?”... [read the rest of the first post about this blog]
