I remember hearing that you have to do something for 10,000 hours before you are good at it. No idea if there is any truth to that statement or if it's an internet myth. I've yet to have any run seem easy, so I know I'm nowhere near close to being good at it yet. I won't even pretend that I think I'm close to 10,000 hours, though I do always have a rough estimate of how many miles I've done. 10,000 hours is ridiculous, but I'll admit it, I do like the thought of being able to say I've ran 10,000 miles.
1,300 (1,301 to be exact) miles is what I ran in 2011. While not super impressive at first glance, when you think about how far the average person drives a year is 12K miles, I did a tenth of that on foot. That is crazy to me.
Here's to the New Year and what's possible. Thought I'd tribute my running partners who were with me most of those miles. Oh and in case you are wondering, roughly only 9,757 hours until I get good.
