I signed up for a local Yahtzee running challenge for the month of September in a spur of the moment burst of enthusiasm, and now it's at a close. Results are below. I joined the group going for 300 points because I wasn't going to get over to Wanaka for the morning and evening social runs (not because I'm not social, more because it's an 1hr 15 each way at stupid o'clock).

Well, I scored a measley 92.5 out of a possible 300. Of course I did! I know more than anyone that I'm not going to commit to something like this. As awesome as the little challenges are, I am just not the kind of runner to play by someone else's rules. I barely play by my own rules - changing plans mid-run is often a thing. Anyway, I got a few half marathons done and almost 15,000m of vert. I have been prioritising sleep so the early morning and evening runs just weren't going to happen. The peaks were over the Wanaka side again and I don't particularly like to drive to runs unless they're really something I'm stinging for.

Anyway, a few lessons (ahem reminders) learned.
