For example, two weeks ago I rode my exercise bike 85 miles (without even leaving the basement), played hockey (what a blast) and completed two runs (aka shuffles) and compiled 110 miles or total points.
And last week I combined riding, hockey (incl. scoring a nifty goal on a really good goalie) and running to earn 106 points.
["Anything over 100 pts. is gravy": photo GH]
I know how to keep track of my extra points over 100 as well. Yeah, I just add them up and keep a running total (I call it gravy) and over the last two years I’ve accumulated 184.5 gravy mi./pts., so I can take a day off here and there if I really want.
But I can’t always control my weekly schedule. And I missed a run last week.
Stuff comes up. People drop by. I get busy or sleepy or distracted or all three at the same time.
So, I’ve got to complete an extra run this week. I did 6 miles on Saturday so maybe I’ll follow the same route this afternoon after I spend a couple of hours in the workshop.

Three runs in one week will give me confidence regarding my bet with The Swede.
Don’t tell him I’m doing pretty well at this stage in the long, long game.

And, to The Swede: Though I recently heard you’re not training and have put on a little weight, I feel you may be spreading misinformation and hiding in the bushes - getting ready to strike.
Yup, I’m onto you.
