The song should probably change not only to “run 500 miles” but to “I HAVE run 500 miles”, as that’s what I did last year. In stocktaking all of the miles run on my two feet during 2009, I discovered that I’ve run more that 500 miles. 522 to be precise. That’s the equivelent of running from London to John O’Groats.
As you’ll see, with marathon training kicking off early in January this year, I’ve already got a head start on last year’s mileage. So from being amazed at myself for running so far in 2009, I’m now setting my sights on a bigger toal for this year.
So hold on to your hats folks, here comes the announcment… This year I aim to run 800 miles. Now that’s something I never thought I’d say (or write).
