It started in mid-December and ended on March 19th - the goal -\\xa0175 miles in 100 days. That\'s only an average of less than 2 miles per day. So we figured if you run more on some days it would all even out.\\xa0

  • We ran 12 miles in the month of December.
  • A few in January.
  • A handful in February.\\xa0
  • And then March came. Crunch time.\\xa0

Throughout the months the "pressure" of doing this challenge hung in the back of my mind. Every day we didn\'t run it was a little bit of added stress. The times we accidentally overslept and missed a morning run. All of these turned into a month of crunch time putting in sometimes 2 runs a day. And putting in longer runs than we had done since Worlds.

Along the way I kept asking myself "Why does this matter? I don\'t really care about the medal, no one will know or care if we finish so why are we stressing out about getting all these miles in?"
