nearly there

If you're a runner, biker, walker, etc, do you record your workouts?  I do.  I like to see my progress and see week to week what I've done.  I record all of my runs/workouts on dailymile.com.  The way I describe it to other people is that it's like Facebook for active people.  You create a profile and post your workouts for your friends to comment on or like.  They can even motivate you with things like:  You're a Rock Star or You're an Inspiration or Great Performance.

I've been tracking my mileage for some time now and have accumulated 3794 miles.  I've spent 622hrs doing so.  I've burned 2433 donuts (and have eaten maybe 5 in that time).  I've also made it .15 of the way around the world.  So there's that.

This year I gave myself the goal of running 1200 miles because it's 2012.  If you were a reader back in January you'll remember (or perhaps this will refresh your memory) I logged just under 1000, by like 2miles.  It was a wasted opportunity to reach a nice even number.  So when this year started, I thought why not try and run at least 100mi each month?  It helps that I've also given myself the goal of running a half marathon a month (beginning in May) and have trained for and run two full marathons.

Well, I'm please to tell you that I'm only 58.5 miles away from the goal (dailymile rounds up)!
From my DailyMile.com profile - Miles:   3794 total / 1142 in 2012

That equals out to a 5K everyday between now and New Year's Eve.  I don't want to jinx myself...but I'm pretty sure I'll get there.  I'm pretty stubborn about these things...
