I decided that it was time I kicked my running up a notch. I have been running about 2 to 3 times a week for the last year. When I started back in October of 2007 I was running about 2 miles. The last few months I have started doing 4 miles. I recently found a website that tracks your routes and times, lets you set up goals and tracks them. Its a pretty handy site, and I think I am going to enjoy following my progress. I have already entered 2 of my routes on Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake), Austin TX. On a side note, my new route that I ran with my friend Rob nearly kicked my ass, he is in better shape then I and it was a good motivator just trying to keep pace.
Any way, the point of this post is I have started a 100 mile challenge today. I am going to run 100 miles in 30 days. I have always tried to set physical goals for myself, but always seem to cut them short or fall off the plan. I have challenged other areas of my life, and have broke wall after wall. Running has started to become my replacement for surfing (or lack thereof). I get excited after work with the thought of running town lake. I load my iPod with any track that has a heavy beat to help me keep pace. Don’t laugh but techno seems to help, well Drum n Bass, or what ever the music geeks call it.
So please check my progress, and keep me on track. I will need the motivation of my friends and family to keep me running. I need this to set a bar, something I can shoot for.
