94.4 Miles to Go... In 10 Days...
Tuesday, November 19, 2024
I started this challenge (the 300k Raven Rocks Challenge) strong... but then things went a bit off the rails in the middle of the month. So much for kicking my ass back into gear...
10 days, 94.4 miles, an average of 9.5 miles per day.
I think it's possible but it's going to hurt.
If I can manage at least 25 miles during the weekend of 11/23-24, and another 25 miles for two days over my Thanksgiving "break"... that leaves "only"46 miles over the remaining 7 days... an average of 6.6mi a day.
Honestly, it's insane. But so was running a marathon when I'd never really run before, way back in 1997. For that matter, hitting 300k during the 1st Raven Rocks Challenge in 2020 was nuts - I only decided it was possible with 7 days and 90k to go.
Slow and steady won't win a race... but it might get me to 300k by midnight 11/30. That and legs that are going to be really freakin' tired when December gets here.
