The Heat Is Back!

From WRAL.com:

The temperature at RDU Airport has hit 101 degrees, which beats the existing July 7 record of 100 degrees.

Stay cool!

Running Goal Check In!

Well, I've managed to log 182 miles to date in 2010. Needless to say, I'm off my goal - in large part due to the crazy weather we've had in North Carolina (read: lots of snow and ice...go figure)! Here's to a productive Spring!

8 Miles Down...2002 to Go!

I ran a quick 5 miler yesterday on New Year's Day and a little over 3 today due to brutal Northwest winds accompanying an arctic air mass that moved into NC overnight! At least my pace is picking up (shaved about 30 seconds a mile off)!

I'm looking for a good mile countdown to show my progress as a widget...stay tuned!

First Resolution of the New Year : Run 2010...Literally!

My first resolution of the New Year relates to running...surprised? I didn't think so! :)

Well, I've decided to set a goal of running at least 2010 miles to mark the arrival of a new decade. How far is 2010 miles? It's like driving to NYC from Raleigh, making a u-turn...then...rinse and repeat! That's right, *two* round trips to NYC from Raleigh is just about 2010 miles.

Stay tuned for updates on my progress!

Happy New Year!
