50 in 50

Well I am back in Atlanta for an extended weekend. Boy I have NOT missed that drive!!! But it did give me some opportunity to find some quiet time and reflect on some things. In my previous post, I mentioned some of my offseason goals. An additional one hit me during the drive.

50 runs in 50 days. Yesterday marked 50 days left in the year. I wonder if I can run 50 times before the end the of the year.

I see people doing this periodically. Most of the time they try to work up to 100 days or runs. I am always in awe of it. They also comment on how it really jumpstarts their running abilities because the body has little chance to do anything other than adapt.

So with that my goal is 50 runs in 50 days. Notice I am not saying 50 straight days of running. I don't think I can commit to that which means that I will need to double up from time to time. That shouldn't be too much of a problem with the job. The rules are simple--a run must constitute a minimum of 2 miles or 20 minutes, whichever occurs first.

Let's just hope I remember this goal as I move through the offseason.
