Under Armour 2017 Run With Fight

This year I set myself a few goals following last years weight loss and the unexpected interest in running.

1. Run a 10K in 2017
2. Run a Half Marathon in 2018
3. Run a Marathon in 2019
4. Complete the Under Armour You vs The Year Challenge for 2017, 1017 km in the year.

In September, I completed my first target and 2 weeks ago I completed my 4th target. I also upped the ante a little and completed a 10 mile run in October. 

As you will have seen in my last post, I entered the Half and Full Marathons for next year.... why wait a year! So, I'm in the midst of my training for the Worthing Half and on Sunday went for a long training run and completed my longest run to date, the half marathon distance. Wasn't quick but helped me work out what I need to do for both races next year, namely sort some new shoes out and deal with my little toe which seems to be twisted and causing a blister.

Outside of these, I've really enjoyed running and a highlight was on my trip to rome last month where I got a couple of early runs around Ancient Rome and saw the major attractions without crowds of tourists. It's a great way to see cities and something I intend to try and do when I am away.

As you can see below, my You vs The Year challenge is completed,although I am wanting to get to 1117 before the end of the year just to say I did.

Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!
