Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge Complete

Yesterday I ran my 1000th kilometer for 2020 and met my Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge goal. When I started the challenge in January I felt confident I would be able to keep on track and I'm happy I was able to even with the complications that the pandemic and parenthood threw my way.

Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge August

I covered less distance in August than I have in previous months, with some obligations keeping me from running. I have under 150 km left to cover to hit my 1000 km goal for 2020, so I'm on track to hit that before October is up.

Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge July

In July I again increased my total distance covered, so I had my best month of the year for movement toward my 1000 km goal. This summer has been particularly nice to be running during, with great weather nearly every day.

The English Channel Complete

Yesterday I wrapped up running the English Channel Virtual Challenge, which I started just over a week ago. I've enjoyed finishing up the last of the short challenges offered by The Conqueror and it has been good motivation to keep up the habit of running at every chance I get.

Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge June

I ran more in June than in other months this year. The better weather has made it easier and more enjoyable to get out and run. I've made good process on my Conquer 2020 goals and will likely hit 1000 km a bit early.

Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge May

I was able to run more than 50 km further in May than I did in April and I definitely felt better because of it.

Alps to Ocean Complete

Today I finished up my Alps to Ocean virtual challenge, which I started in March. In the midst of restrictions that might have sapped my motivation to get out running, having this virtual challenge was absolutely an driver to keep me moving and going out each night to run.

Great Ocean Road Complete

A few days ago I finished the Great Ocean Road challenge I started on Christmas Eve. It was good motivation to have a long term distance goal to encourage me to get out for runs throughout the Winter.

Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge January

I had a slower start to the year for distance run than I would have liked, but I'm on track to meet my Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge goal of 1000 km this year.

Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge

For 2020 I decided to set an overall running goal for the year to keep myself consistent. I'm running the Conquer 2020 Virtual Challenge with a goal of 1000 km for the year.

Great Ocean Road

Starting today I'm running the Great Ocean Road Virtual Challenge to run a total of about 240 km. I'm aiming to do that in about 12 weeks, so if I get out for 4 runs each week during the winter and do a distance of 5 km each time I'll be on target.
