NO EXCUSE NOVEMBER? NAH... HOW ABOUT

KICK MY ASS BACK INTO GEAR NOVEMBER!

WELCOME TO THE 2024 RAVEN CHALLENGE

Friday, November 1, 2024

This year started out OK and I made decent progress at one of my goals, running at least one live half marathon race each month... until March, when the wheels started to come off my training. And it went downhill from there, especially once June hit and a family medical situation added a bit of additional stress to my life... followed by a bout of covid, and getting hit by a car, and numerous other smaller obstacles. As a result, I've run, walked, and biked the least mileage that I've done in years, and I've been finding it very, very frustrating.

In 2020 as a result of the Raven Rocks 10k being cancelled (covid again) the organizers set up a month long Raven Challenge, in which participants could complete a variety of activities toward "badges" attached to the finisher medal. The primary challenge was to complete 100k in 30 days, but that also extended up to 300k - and I was very surprised to find that as I approached the last week or so, hitting 300k was doable - if I was willing to run and walk 90k more. Somehow I managed to do that (having 5 days off for Thanksgiving certainly helped) - and I've done 300k in every Raven Challenge since. (Actually, in a couple of cases I did 300k during the months before November too... which might explain why I was pretty tired come December...)

So starting today, I have 300k (186mi) to cover over the next 30 days. An average of 6.2 miles per day. And hopefully by doing so I'll get myself back on track.

Let the fun begin...
