With ten months of the year done, and believe it or not, as I write this we have only 57 days left until the end of 2017, a monthly update is on the way.

October, considering it included a long weekend away, was a pretty good running month:

• 22 runs
• 16 hours
• 93 miles

It feels like the 1000 miles, after it being a bit touch and go at some points in the year, is finally within reach.

When I first took on this challenge I was under the impression that I’d definitely be able to do it. Although, after transitioning to Vibram Fivefingers in the summer it meant that I was well down on the mileage. It has taken up to this point to get back on track.

Some stats for the remainder of the year:

• 57 days to go
• 170 miles left to run
• Averaging out at 2.98 miles a day/20.86 miles a week

Definitely doable.
