Another milage milestone

Well, another month down and another big milestone reached. Today, on my 15 mile hike, I crossed the 400 mile mark for my training! It took two separate walks - thanks to the need to break for work - but I got all 15 miles under the soles of my shoes. 

As I was walking, I figured out that it was mid-February when I began. About five months ago. So, if you average it out, that's about 80 miles a month, or 2.6 miles a day for five months straight! I know that isn't the case, because my trainers have had me build up 10 percent ever week for 24 weeks straight, but it's still pretty cool to think about. 

So, I figure I will log at least 100 more miles prior to the big 60 miler. It's a long way but for the first time I really feel as though I can do it. If nothing else, I know I'll have done everything I can to get all 60 miles completed. 

And I'll look good in my walking shorts!

Here's wishing you all good health, lots of love and plenty of milage on the soles of your shoes,
Regan
