Running, Resolutions follow-up

So I've been running a lot last week. I ran 20 miles over 3 days. Which is a lot for me, because I hadn't been running in a long time.

Why would I do this to myself? I was in a competition with a friend on nikeplus.com ... we wear our iPod nanos and use the Nike+ device that counts our steps... tracking distance and speed. Anyway, we were competing for the most distance over a month. And she had been running consistently, and I was trying to catch up at the last minute. I came close, but didn't quite catch up.

I started enjoying running again... especially when I ran 9.7 miles one night to Natural Bridges and back.

I don't have a weight scale here at the University Inn, but I don't think I've made much progress on that part of my New Year's Resolutions... yet, at least.

Time for a new Nike+ Challenge? I think so.

    Props for 20 miles in 3 days. Most people couldn’t/wouldn’t do 20 miles in 3 weeks.

    I could bike 20 miles in 3 days, heheh, but that might not get counted by a step counter without some serious modification.
