Sport Walk organized a February challenge: complete at least 5 kilometers every day, either running or walking, and post it in their Strava group. I decided to give it a try. There was nothing particularly dramatic about it — 5K is roughly where I am right now, so I simply ran or walked it, outdoors or on the treadmill, posted it, and that was it. There were nearly twenty of us doing the challenge, and the really surprising part was that everyone who started actually finished.

Do you know what day December 21 is, Tomorrow? The winter solstice — the shortest day of the year. And this time it falls on a Sunday. How about a little challenge? Let’s call it Midwinter Marathon Madness. :) It’s a marathon walking challenge where you design your own route and take care of everything yourself. The rule is simple: start at sunrise (or after), and finish at sunset. Technically, any distance counts as completion — but since “marathon” is in the name, the real goal is, of course, 42.
