Pretty good week

It's been a while since I last posted - over a week - and I've put on quite a few kilometers. I ran about 47 kilometers since I last posted, including two 7km runs in the last 24 hours.

My Nike Plus challenge continues to be a strong motivating factor. A couple of runners in the challenge logged 20km+ days last week to jump way ahead. I'm in third place right now, but there's a gap of over 10km between me and the top two, and there are about 7 runners within 10km of me, so it should be a good run to the finish between now and September 30.

I was talking with my brother and father over the weekend, and they're both running regularly as well. My brother has been interval training, but he's developed shin splints and may slow it down a touch (like I have) to try to recover. My dad runs an hour a day 5 days a week.

My wife also signed up for a gym membership on Friday, and she's got an appointment with a trainer three times a week.

All in all, with Nike Plus and all the people working out around me in my family, I've got a lot of motivating factors to keep me running. I haven't felt this good in a long time (aside from the occasional complaints from my legs). I also can't remember a time that I've kept consistently running for this long, so hopefully I can keep it going.
