Place your bets everyone. Since this is about my 300th time getting back into shape since I graduated college in 2004 I've decided to actually keep up with this blog(this is the 2nd or 3rd attempt at it) this time and try to keep things as interesting as I can to keep my motivation up. Plus this will give plenty of people good reason to give me shit for being lazy which is always fun. So feel free to take a guess/bet whatever in the comment section and whoever is the closest without going over(price as right rules are universal) will get a pair of running shoes if you're lucky or maybe even a high five from me if you're really lucky.
So for those of you that either haven't read much, or haven't run a lot I'll give you some info. I've been running sporadically the last 2 months maybe but not more than 1 or 2 days a week until the last week of November. I am averaging like 4 to 5 miles per run right now and I'm hoping to just be taking off 1 day a week but if I suspect any sort of injury or snag coming along that will obviously change. As recently as June or July I had done runs as long as 12 miles(slow pace of course) but as of right now I am 180lbs and in 2004 when I was running a lot I was 135lbs. Alright so now that that is out of the way, some quick math before you make any guesses. 2,010 miles over a year would come out to be 38.65 miles per week which is averaging 6.44 miles a day with 1 day off every week. I am below that weekly amount at the moment but I plan on running much more than that as soon as I am able.
There is a tracker on the right side of the blog that will keep track of each run every day and I will try to map out as many runs as I can with mapmyrun.com if that isn't possible I'll do my best to be conservative with the estimate of my pace for the run and mileage will be listed as shorter rather than longer on any run like that.
None of that really matters because my guess is the most popular response will be "you will stop running again and never hit 2,010 miles in 2010"
