Running with Nike+

Football season is in full swing and I'm happy to report that UVa is currently undefeated at 2-0. Yesterday, UVa beat Penn State in the final seconds when Penn State's freshman kicker kicked the ball wide left in a failed field goal attempt.

Go HOO's GO!

The week before, we beat UofR - tailgating was fun, our new seats are fantastic and the game was rather boring.

I bring this us because my long runs are Saturday mornings. For the UofR game it wasn't a problem because kick off was at 3pm so I could run with my buds at 7am and then head up. However, the Penn State game was a Noon kick off. This meant that needed to be out the door by 7:30AM and this meant that there would be no Saturday running for me. And honestly, thank goodness, because I didn't get home from work until after 1am. Getting up for tailgating was hard enough.

So I don't have pictures to prove that I run. But I do have my Nike+ screen shot :) Friday morning, I met Katie at her house at 5:45am and we took off for our 4 mile run - and here's my proof!

You may not know this about me but I am a data junky. So when I saw all the new statistics that Nike+ has added to their site - I got so excited. What I find hysterical is that they have classified me as "Slow and Steady" - which I suppose is accurate. Though what this doesn't show you is my pace was hindered by the fact that I started my watch and then stood still for 2 minutes while Katie and I figured out our route - oops. My year stats also how that my runs are 70% in the morning. Love this stuff!

Happy running!

"Slow & Steady"
