Math is Sometimes Good

In the spirit of go-for-it-to-finish-the-year-big, I unveil the following ...

The 12-in-17 Plan.

That's 12 in 17, as in 12 more runwalks of at least 2 hours in duration across the remaining 17 days of calendar year 2010. Why, you ask? Simple. Because once I knock down these 12 runwalks of at least 2 hours in duration across the remaining 17 days of calendar year 2010, I will then be able to stand on the tailgate of the Millenium Falcon (aka 10-year-old Ben Gentry's name for my 2004 Nissan pickup) and crow ...

"Oh yeah, 2010. That was the year that I averaged a long run every other day. Yeah. For the whole year. Yeah."

Some quick math. 365 days in 2010. Half of that is ... lemme see here ... 182.5. And with this being Dec. 14 and my total resting at a big, fat 171, and my JMU Christmas break time off from work running (arf! arf!) Thursday, Dec. 23, through the end of the year, lemme see here ... if I can manage to throw down an extra one here ... and here ... and ... oh, lookit ... we come to Dec. 31 and a year-end tally of ... 183.

Sometimes, you just gotta go a little crazier than your normal crazy. Yep. Must. do. this.

Let the hunt begin, baby!

Keep pushing forward, but in your case you have to relax a good bit. What an accomplishment. This will have you ready for the fair grounds this year!
