Actually going to start up running again now that my back is 100% again. Stephanie and I both have decided to make an effort to start eating more healthy. We had been doing this but lately have slipped into some bad eating habits. And there's nothing like winter to help pack on the extra pounds!
Well not really, but it will be running for the farthest distance that I've ever done. The Army Ten Miler is an annual ten mile race here in DC. It is open to the general public although the military is a big chunk of the field. I have decided that I'm going to attempt to run this thing even though I've never run 10 miles at once in my life. I just figure that I need an excuse to get in really good shape this year apart from my twice-annual PT test. That is only a two mile run and so requires speed more than pure endurance.
This will also give me more excuses to use my Nike+ kit for my iPod. It's a neat $30 add-on for an iPod nano that works like a fancy pedometer, uploading stats to a neat website. I've started linking some stats on the right so that anybody can keep track of how I'm doing. I'll update my progress as I go along and we'll see how I do.
