The first month of the challenge has seen amid of successes and challenges. I have managed to run the required distance for the month of over 209km by running a total of 213.2km over the month. While on a whole this is positive and included many memorable moment including getting to do a 13.5km run on Rottnest Island (my happy place), I didn’t get as many runs completed as I would have liked in an ideal situation by only completing 17 for the month. My usual running regime of running five days a week would result in me usually doing between 20 – 22 runs so I am really starting behind the 8-ball for the year.
My monthly statistics were as follows:
| Total Distance | 213.2km |
| Number of Runs | 17 |
| Average Pace | 5’24” per km |
| Total Time | 19:11:19 |
February will prove a new set of challenges with the commencement of the school year. A little more routine, but now there’s a need to balance the demands of my teaching position with the running regime – always a challenge!
