Eric Chemwor100 Miles in a month

Twenty-seven runs in twenty-two days, in the month my job disappeared. This is every mile of it, and what the miles were for.

At the start of September I sent a screenshot of a 50-mile month to a group of friends and asked if they thought I could double it. They said it was possible, that it wouldn't be easy, and that it was a little crazy to try. That was all it took.

One more thing the miles can do.

This month was a routine keeping me upright while the ground moved. A lot of people in Georgia are in the middle of that right now, and for many of them the first thing to go is the grocery budget. Feeding Georgia is the statewide network of nine regional food banks, and every dollar stays in the state. If this page was worth anything to you, put a mile toward it. Any mile.

One hundred, one run at a time

Each dot is a run, sized by its distance and colored by its week, stacked into the month's total. The dashed lines are the plans I made and then abandoned. Hover or tap any run.

Under eight

Average pace for every full run the app timed, against the goal of staying under eight minutes a mile. The first two runs of the month sit far above the line; everything after Sept 5 is a different runner. The two sub-mile laps are left out. Tap a run for its mile splits.

Summary What it added up to

The ledger

Twenty-seven runs. Eighteen mornings out of twenty-two. Thirteen hours and change on the road, most of it before most people were awake, in a month that took my job and handed me this instead. I would do it again, and the next one is about speed, not distance.

    A note From the author

    Your journey deserves a sheet of its own.

    I built this page myself, the charts, the calendar, the story, all from the numbers the app kept and the photos on my phone. I make them for other people too. A trek, a season, a build, a year that mattered. If you'd like one for a journey of your own, leave your email and I'll write to you personally about how it works.

    No list, no newsletter. Just me, replying.
