I can jog!!!
Found a new website - mapmyrun.com. When I map out what I thought was 4.5mi maybe 5 at the most I found out it is almost 6! I can and regularly do jog 6mi! Entering my time I found out that my slowish steady jog was 8.5min miles. Crazy.
I bought a new pair of running shoes - I have been running in my trail running shoes that are just not made for pavement running. My new shoes have a compartment in the sold for a device that can upload information to your ipod about your jog. I just bought the shoes cause they felt good and were on clearance (well and I really needed running shoes). They are part of the Nike+ line. What an amazing idea - now if only it worked with every ipod and not just the nano.
FYI: I never thought I'd be a fan of R.O.C.K in the U.S.A. but when it comes up on your ipod shuffle as your jogging it just gives the perfect burst of rythym and enthusiam to help you push through! Thanks Springsteen!
Check out the steam! Josh was amused enough to take a pic.
