One Nike+ Century!



Check it out!!!

I just finished my first 100 miles on the Nike+ system. I know it seems dorky, but I'm excited about it. It's kind of fun to get that kind of feedback when you're working hard. I guess the next goal is 200 or 250. We'll see if I can get to that this year. Although the miles aren't the most important thing to me.

Today's run went well. It was my first experience with striders. I had 6, 20 second strides to do during my run. I put starting at 3 minutes in and every 5 minutes. After my stride I slowed down and tried to keep a slightly faster pace than I had before. It was weird to feel how much slower my previous pace felt once I was done with the stride. I think I'm going to like this new type of workout.

See you on the roads folks!
Alex

If you do all the half marathons you've talked about doing this year, I think you'll hit your 200 mark.

Congrats Buddy! I felt the same (dorky) way when I got mine. Nike has it all right. Keeps you motivated. Amazing technology.
