General Update: We've done ok. Not great, but we haven't completely fallen apart yet. Obviously, the general strategy for the year is to try and do something, anything through the winter, and then make huge gains when the weather is nice, and then try and eek out enough late in the year to hit our goal. We're roughly on that plan. We did make one significant alteration to the rules: playing basketball counts as running 1 mile per hour. I play basketball twice a week, which just eats too much into my discretionary exercise time. I don't want to give up basketball for a year, so we made a compromise. Sure, playing basketball isn't really what the goal was set up to accomplish, but, on the other hand, you have to concede that running a mile is a lot less work than playing basketball for an hour. So far basketball counts for about a third of our progress. Shannon has been going walking at the mall while Julia is in school. Ella hasn't really been pulling her weight.
The numbers:
Total through 2/1: 53.85 miles
Current pace for the year: 636 miles
Current deficit: 30.85 miles
Left to self locomote: 946.15 miles.
