The last several years I've set a goal to hike the year number, yesterday I hit my goal of 2023 
. Not sure how many years I can continue to do it, but I'll try.
A breakdown- these are all single track/off trail miles- no Super Walmart parking lot miles.
Had to average 5.6/day, 39 miles/week. I think I might have missed 7 days the entire year. 134 miles I was on snowshoes, ~ 800 miles I had a pack on (25-85 lbs), elevation gained (and lost) was ~ 400,000' and ~ 1300 of those miles I was accompanied by faithful dog- Tiny Elvis.
Few highlights

very impressive for a 30 yr old, let alone mid 60s
