Last year, I kept track of how far I ran (miles), how much I wrote for fun/free (words), how much time I spent playing RPGs with friends (hours), and how many books I read.
I kept a physical log, but after comparing it with my Garmin data, I failed to log several runs with pen and paper, so I’m trusting the tech for the numbers and math.
Over the course of 74 runs in 2024, I covered a shade more than 264 miles in 46 hours, 21 minutes, and four seconds. My longest run was 7 miles; I covered the most ground in May (almost 38 miles), followed by December (35+) and August (nearly 31); and I ran the most days in December (11). The late-year surge isn’t surprising: Jenn and Kelsey and I have all signed up for this year’s Brooklyn Half Marathon, and we’ve started getting ready for our 12-week training programs.
I did most of my outdoor running on various parts of the Towpath Trail or in nearby Cleveland Metroparks – although I did put in a couple miles around the Grand Geneva on a snowy and sunny morning in Wisconsin during Gary Con, and a few around North Park Lake in western Pennsylvania during the Pittsburgh Dragon Boat Festival. Treadmill miles at my local Planet Fitness.
