Long Run Goal for the Week

Listed below is my favorite mapping software. I am unoficially training for a half-marathon. I am slowly increasing my distance and hope to do a 6 mile long run this weekend.

Dan has been a great supporter. In Wisconsin, he ran with me every day. He would stay with me for about 2.5 miles of my 4.5 mile run. This is great considering he had not been running prior to our vacation!

[Edit: Dan is physically, morally, and fundamentally opposed to any sort of organized, premeditated exercise. That's cruel and unusual when it is forced upon another person; it's downright frightening for someone to knowingly submit himself or herself to that kind of torture. No thank you. I'd rather be waterboarding. If it happens spontaneously (i.e. chasing three and five-year-old children through parks, zoos or museums; flash soccer/ baseball/ ghost in the graveyard games in the backyard; emergency walking treks for beer ten minutes before the game begins, biking to work work because gas prices make you nauseous {that's a true story!}, etc.), great! Put me on the front of a Wheaties box!]

KAren - That site is neat! I need to play around with it. We've been mapping our runs on Google Earth, which looks pretty similar and when I mapped my run from last night!

Way to go on unofficially training for a "Mini" marathon. I'm not sure I'll ever do one!

Keep going Karen! Hopefully someday I'll be able to run that half marathon with you!
