Hike 125

Another month done in the “Hike 125 challenge”.  I’m about 50 miles behind the leader in “most miles”.  With races every weekend until the end of October and a cap of 80 miles per week of running I will be hard pressed to make up any ground.  I’m hoping to visit the final 12 reservations  I haven’t been to yet, so that will put me in a tie for “most Reservations visited”.  I’m currently up by about 100 in the “most hikes” category.  There has been some controversy as someone just joined the challenge and logged 1,000 miles which included some 30 mile days and some very questionable hikes (10 miles in Agassiz?).  Since this is all done by the honor system I guess there isn’t much you can do.  In my case I’ve got 99% of my runs on Strava, so anyone there is no doubt where I’ve been running.

Total      1130.71                

                                               

We are 139 days into the challenge and I’m averaging 8.17 miles per day.  Considering my average run per day is 11+ miles that is a fairly high percent done in reservations.  122 days until the end of the year, after that I may never run in a Reservation again!  J
