9 Miles Down

I said in my previous entry that I wanted to do something to honor the Boston Marathon and its victims. It’s not the greatest idea that I had, but I decided to go forth with it anyway. From May 1^st to May 26^th, I decided to run a mile each day until I reached 26.2 miles, where the last day I run 1.2 miles instead of 1. Had a rough start, getting sick May 3^rd and May 4^th and was unable to run, but extended my program to May 28^th to let it all add up correctly. I wear the “Boston Stands as One” shirt from Adidas on every run to honor it all. It allows me to also get back into a good fitness level and stay injury-free and sick-free. It’s been a lot of fun thus far and I know I’m far from being completed with it. 17 days left and I’m itchin’ to get out everyday and get my goals in. With school being over it only gives me more time to invest in it. Below is the results of times and distances of my runs using the Nike+ Sportswatch. Time isn’t really a big issue here, but I like to keep it as a statistic. I’ll try to keep everything updated each week so people who want to follow this will be informed. Once again, thanks to everyone who has honored this tragedy in their own way and for donated to One Fund.
