One of my favorite parts of Twitter is feeling like I’m part of a bigger conversation, even if I’m not a hugely integral part of it. This goes for all parts of my life, from professional to personal. And of course, fitness. Because there’s a fantastic world of fitbloggers out there, some of whom I’ve been reading for years, some of whom I have just found through Twitter and other blogs.
And these people like to have challenges! And they’re fun! This month, I’m taking part in the October Going the Distance challenge over at FatGirlvs.World. (She’s on Twitter here.) I love it because it’s a SRS BSNSS challenge to myself. For more on the thoughts behind the challenge, check out her latest post.
I have pledged to run 100 miles this month. Counting up my training plan, I saw I was going to be at 95 miles anyway, so why not, I thought, just up that by a mile here and there?
Why not indeed? So far, I’m at 22 miles – that’s 22% of my goal, which makes me even happier to have picked a nice round number. I don’t have to think too hard about my progress! This is awesome!
And the training is generally going well. Last week’s 10 milers was solid, and tomorrow’s 11-miler should be as well.
