Okay all, it’s time to get real. We’re not beating our initial goal of matching a world-record circumnavigation of the globe by Sept. 12th. Honestly, who thought that was a good idea?

So, we have a new, still incredibly aggressive goal of completing it by year end. This requires beating our team miles completed last year, but it may now be doable.

With this in mind, here are your goals for 2026 based on many factors – what you did in 2024, 2025, plus reasonable growth where appropriate.

Tom – 662 miles

Tom said he’d do his 2025 target in 2026. So, I’m keeping it at 662.

Carlin – 550 miles
Carlin easily passed her initial 2025 goal and met her stretch goal of 500 miles. So, I’m adding 10%.

Chris – 1,400 miles
Chris didn’t quite reach his goal of 1552 miles last year, so his goal is slightly reduced.

Johnny Evans – 1,730 miles
I just feel Johnny has more in the tank, plus he had his injury and still managed over 1,600 miles.

Kev – 1,900 miles
He said last year nearly broke him. Since he clearly didn’t break, we’ll keep it the same as 2026.

Johnny Brock – 400 miles
Johnny needs to up his game from last year’s 196 miles. So 400 miles it is.

Matt – 800 miles
Matt achieved 550 miles last year, but has seriously upped his running game of late. I’m betting on Matt this year to go big.

Dave – 1,400 miles
I achieved 1,100 miles, but I think I can do better, plus I want to match Chris.

If everyone achieves these goals, we’ll get within a few hundred miles of required total. We can do this!

The progress, as of yesterday stands as such…

Keep it up everyone.
