As I've mentioned, I love having goals and tracking things. I also love making lists and crossing things off said lists. Anyways, I always track my runs -- mileage, speed, routes - using the Nike Running app. Their app is really awesome and I use it every time I run - except when on a treadmill. The app keeps your mileage total for all recorded runs, too.
After my run this morning, I was at 469 total miles, and it occurred to me that I started using the Nike App just about a year ago . I checked, and my first run on the app was on November 18th, 2012. I decided it'd be really cool to reach 500 miles by November 18th of this year -- 500 miles in one year. So the countdown begins - 31 more miles in a little over a month. Definitely a great reason to get new running shoes :)
Here are some fun photos of my most recent running adventures:
A "muddy-up" 5K in Greenwich, Ct - including running through creeks (fell twice), mud swamps, an 80 yd swim (water in September is freezing), and full on competition with 5 year olds
One of my favorite places in the city - The Reservoir in Central Park
Phoenix, AZ bright and early -- amazing running weather - warm and no humidity:
And a throwback to my vaca in Charleston. This might be my favorite. If you ever get the chance to run on the beaches surrounding Charleston, do it. The sand was so hard that people were even biking on it - and obviously, it's flat so you can go forever. So amazing.
Winter may mean colder weather and less outdoor time, but it also means more red wine and more cooking for me. In my mind, there is always something to look forward to.
