Shoe Mileage Log, page 13

You'll notice how consistent miles add up quickly, and that matters to your shoes! Use the log to help keep track of how many miles are on your shoes. If you run in more than 1 pair of shoes, print a log off for each pair of shoes you run in.

It is also helpful to have this log as a place to see how far you are in your challenge in between larger mile-marker milestones. A F M T E O E R V N R E N O N I O N I N G N G S U " N A D

My goal is to run 790 miles by . personal end date

Which is the equivalent of the permieter of Notheast Wisconsin!

I can accomplish this by running per week.

weekly average

My challenge begins . personal start date

"A goal should scare you a little and excite you a lot." Worksheet Examples Questions & Answers

Can I run the actual route?

The route is not designed as a running route so we would not encourage it or recommend it. It is a representation of great distance so that you can ooo and ahh over your accomplishment!

This hypothetical route starts at Bay Beach in Green Bay and heads towards Door County then follows the perimeter of Northeast Wisconsin.

You'll see this on your poster map that will come with your packet.

What if I get injured?

This is your personal challenge, so you can adjust your goal. We do not encourage running through an injury.

You may also choose to cross train and add those miles as part of your goal. You can adjust those into running miles as you feel appropriate to you. For example: 4 miles biking - 1 running mile.
