The Starting Line

Recently I ran the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge with my co-workers. It was a 3.5 mile loop from Boston Common to Kenmore Sq. and back, a total of 3.5 miles. So until a few weeks ago that's what I was training for. Now I am not training for anything, but am probably running the Maine Marathon on a relay team. That being said, I got bored just running for nothing, so I decided to set a goal for myself. Today is July 7th, I am going to run 50 miles before July 31st, which is 24 days from now, which is roughly 2.083 miles per day.

I apologize in advance to Lindsay in advance, in case I have to spend most of her Birthday (7/31) running the last 10 miles or so to reach my goal.

Today was day 1 of 24. I ran a 5K loop on the treadmill at the gym, for those of you who don't know that's 3.1 miles. I am hoping to get more running done outside, but for now the gym is the best way for me especially running without a partner. I feel really good about today's run, and working my way towards this new goal!
