On January 31st I landed in Philadelphia, and decided to start my 200 mile program immediately. This was a horrible idea, since I was incredibly jet-lagged. I managed a measly 3.22 miles after hobbling along for an age.
This month will mark my return to healthiness and exercise, after taking several months off to recover from a bike accident in October. My distances and times will be embarrassing for the first while, but I'm hoping they'll pick up as I go on. That's why I've given myself the whole month to cover 200 miles, and not just set a one-off marathon goal. Also, I'm sick to death of marathons.
It's freezing in Philadelphia at the moment, so I plan to use the gym during the week, and possibly be brave and run outside at the weekends. When I run/cycle in the gym, I'll post a picture of the machine to log my distance. If I run outside, I'll take a picture of the furthest point I reach, then check where I went on Google maps when I get home and log the distance that way. Hence, I will be held to account.
Running total: 3.22 miles
(excuse the pun)
