(Susan even got Gem to say, “Yeah, dad!” for me.)
At the end of July I set a goal that in the month of August I would run 100 miles. So with my Nike+ shoes and Nano I set out on what I thought would be impossible or at least pretty tough—up until then the most miles I had ever run in a month was 54 (heck, I had only ran around 300 miles since I began running)—well, today at 7AM I crossed the 100 mile mark.The photo is of my Nike+ graph that shows all the gore detail of the month. What it doesn’t show is that it took running about 5–6 times a week (average of 4 miles a run for 40–45 minutes), that a few of miles were in Boise, how my clothes were drenched after every run, the Ogden High cheerleaders witnessed half the miles, or that everyone in my neighborhood now refers to me as “the guy that goes running”.Maybe for September I’ll try for a 6 minute mile.
That’s FANTASTIC! nice job. I love hearing about fitness goals, Apple and Nike products and cheerleaders. That’s actually really cool that you set out to do something like that and you got it done. I’m very impressed.
