Mile a Day

Running in Iceland as part of the 2015 challenges for Remembering Not to Forget

Final run

Laura and Jon have now finished their 2015 challenge of running a minimum of 1 mile a day (including on their wedding day – and the day after, on holiday in Iceland and South Africa and whilst on honeymoon in Sicily and of course Christmas morning!). Between them they clocked up a total of over 1000 miles this year!

This was by far the most relentless challenge I have done to date. The daily distance is obviously not at all challenging, but it was the fact that we had to run EVERY DAY which made it hard going. Come rain, wind, hail or snow, before work, during work or after work we always had to fit it in. During the winter months was the hardest as having to choose between a 5am morning run in the dark or wait until a long day at work and then doing a 7pm evening run in the dark was not easy! I am now looking forward to being able to run for fun again!
