10 Years ago I created this blog and posted the first article The Big Project Starts which started the counter.
I tried to kept running all these years regularly at about one or two workout a week, although the blog has been updated less frequently since 5 years ago, I have done quite well in the workouts.
Till the end year of 2019, I have already run 2744 kilometers and now it's time to have a summary of the year 2020.
2020 is a very unusual year, a turn point of modern human history, because of the Corona virus 2019 discovered at the end of 2019 and started to spread at the beginning of 2020. This highly contagious disease made the whole world feel the fear that we haven't experienced since a long long time and it had a long last impact on all the aspects of people's daily life, even took many from them.
We started to wear masks, we no longer held hands, we stopped going to office for work... A lot of things changed in 2020 but I tried to run as much as possible.
I ran regularly for the first two months of 2020. Then came the confinement, although we are allowed to do sports outside, we must keep the range limit to 1km max from home. So I decided to not go outside at all and do sports on my terrace, including some run in place and counted in minutes.
Then started from mid May, I can go outside to run again, that is the best time I really enjoyed a lot. And finally, the we finished the year by another confinement and this time, I didn't run a lot even at home.
But overall, the year 2020 has been a great success in terms of sports and health! So here are the results:
Run outside: 352.12 kilometers
Run in place: 601 minutes, that accounts for about 100 kilometers with a pace estimation of 6 minutes per kilometer.
That makes a total of 452.12 kilometers, which is surprisingly the highest since 2017!
With this I summed to 3196 kilometers in total for the first 10 years down the road back to Beijing, and now I found my self in the mountain area of central Turkey. However, this year, I passed by the second largest city of Turkey: Ankara, a 5 million population city, it is a beautiful modern city with a rich history, I hope I can visit it in real one day!
Globally, I have accomplished 1/3 of the total distance separating Nice and Beijing in 10 years. That also means if I keep the same pace, I still need 20 years to reach the destination, that is still in the originally planned time range. But, I think I will need to put in more efforts in the next 10 years, the target is to accomplish minimum 500 kilometers per year.
Bon courage in the new decades!
