Running totals

I have been going to a gym regularly for a year now and I love it.  It has been a great change that my life needed.  I love going to the gym after work and getting out all my frustration in a natural healthy way.  One of my goals for 2013 is to keep track of how many miles I run during the year.  For anyone that knows me, knows that I am not a runner.  I have been working very hard to learn how to enjoy running or at least not hating it.  Maybe after a couple of months I will make a goal of how many miles I want to run over the year.  At the beginning of the year I had no idea what would be a reachable goal, so I have trying to keep track every day.  


I know it is odd, but actually prefer running on a treadmill than outside.  I like to see exactly how fast I'm running and how far I have ran.  That and it is healthier to run inside in Salt Lake during the winter, we have the worst air quality in the country.  In January I ran around 28 miles.  I have no idea if I can keep that up the rest of the year, but it will be fun to see if I can.  I am about to get way busy with boys tennis starting in about three weeks, so I guess I'll find out soon.

That's awesome! And running on a treadmill is a lot harder than running outside because of the resistance, so you're really killing it in the gym! Congratulations and keep us posted on your progress.. I need some inspiration to get myself moving :)
