Early days
3 days in and I've hit 20k!
Hopefully I can keep up an average of around 7k during the next 6 months so that when it is colder and darker I don't have to hit 4.7k daily average.
My wife, Kasia Lovick, officially joined the challenge today as she downloaded the fitbit app and went for a run along the Flitch Way near our home.
Not that easy for both of us to run back-to-back but we still got both boys to bed by 8pm.
People I've spoken to about the target, 4.7k a day, about 20 miles a week agree that in theory it shouldn't be unachievable. However the 'sitting down at work' and 'sorting out kids in mornings/evenings' has been enough of an excuse for me in the past.
Maybe they're reasons; mitigating factors, not excuses. Either way, I should still be able to give back to my body through exercise.
Ok, so I was quite stiff after the first 8k run for more than a day and it's a bit early to start preaching about benefits of exercise on sleep, breathing and general wellbeing: but there's plenty of time to go.
I'm planning on posting each week on Wednesday and Saturday, subject to any particularly big runs/walks, so stay tuned.
