Nike+ Challenge

First... today was leg day, and since my knee is slow to get strong, so I have to baby it, I usually feel like the workout is almost a waste. NOT today! My knee cooperated wonderfully! I was able to do lunges again, and was sweating like a man. In fact, I want to hurry up and finish this post, so I can wash the man stink off of me!

Since I have been having a bit of a hard time making myself run, I decided to utilize the wonderful gift my dad gave me last year. My Nike+. If you do not have one, I HIGHLY recommend it! It is like having a running partner that is not annoying or talks too much! haha! Oh, and it runs just my pace too!

Anyway, one of the fun things about the Nike+ is that there is a whole 'community' that comes with it. You can use it or not, your choice. I like competition, so the 'Challenges' are perfect for me. I had been sitting on the sidelines looking them over, watching what people did... wishing I had the guts to join. (I am really that pathetic) Anyway, last night, I took the plunge! I am in a Challenge to run 100 miles by Christmas! That is going to push me, but not too much. Just enough to get me OUT there and over some of my whiny excuses! I cannot make the goal if I do not run about 5.5 days a week (about 2.5-3 miles per day). SOOOO, I ran today after my leg workout. That is part of why it was so good! I even ran on the dreaded treadmill because some old lady had her fog of cheap perfume on and it was gagging me on the walking track. GAGGING ME. I flat ran on that yucky treadmill. I think I may have to do that more often. I ran at 6mph, and it was almost easy! Wahoo Nike+.

See you in the morning Laura... I am ready to run again!

PS
I will write up a final word about the detox. Boy am I glad it is over, but kinda a little sad too!
