Minor milestone, less behind

My 2017 kilometer challenge is still underway. The deficit is still there from when I was in Vietnam for the two-week language immersion, but it’s gradually being shaved away. Last week I hit a personal record of 55 kilometers, running for 15 kilometers on two days. The running total shows another milestone: I hit the 600-kilometer mark today.

My goal was to eliminate the deficit by the end of April. At this rate, I’d have to run 10 kilometers every day for the rest of the month in order to hit that. I think I could achieve that, but I will have guests come this weekend, and I won’t be able to run while they are here. So I will start May still in the red, but I will be able to get back in the black by the end of first week of the month.

I hope.
