Thanks to the internet, there seems to be no shortage of challenges that cross my screen on a weekly basis. At the end of 2018, I saw a challenge to run or walk the year: 2019 miles in 2019. The folks that run this challenge claim everyone belongs:
EVERYONE INCLUDED
EVERYONE CHALLENGED
EVERYONE SUCCESSFUL
The organizers at Run the Edge encourage participants to build a team or join an existing team – run or walk a portion of the 2019 miles and let your teammates do the rest. Suddenly this didn’t seem so daunting. This challenge appealed to me for a number of reasons:
This challenge will help me train to meet my goal of running my first half marathon in 2019.
Two friends have joined a team with me to run / walk 2019 miles. This means I’ve got accountability partners – very important for me to stay on track.
Have you noticed the reference to run / walk? I’m recovering from a fall at the end of 2018. So while I’ve not done any running, I have been able to log some miles.
There is a Facebook page that provides a ton of inspiration and motivation.
This isn’t a competition with anyone; it’s merely a way for me to get to my goal and have an active 2019.
Have you found a way to keep yourself on track with goals for 2019?
