It seems to have calmed down a bit from the Christmas holiday. phew...
Back to work for most on this Monday; not for me, I am in the midst of a mini vacation. Yahoo!! I had to work on Christmas , so I was granted a few days off afterwards - up through the new year.
The cool thing about the new Ipod Touch is that it has the Nike + built into it. All I have to do is attatch my Nike sensor to my shoe and voila it records my running and workouts. I purchased a shoe pouch for the sensor off of the internet since I don't have Nike + shoes. Now you guys will have to be bored with more running data from me. hahaha!!
I hit my 700 miles for the year on Sunday. I am pumped! This was my first year running since the mid 90's. I would've never thought back in January that I would be posting that kind of mileage. WOOT!WOOT! Still slow though..haha
Last weeks runs:
Mon 4.5 miles
Tue 3.1 miles
Fri 3.1 miles
Sat 6.0 miles
Sun 9.8 miles
I recorded some good mileage this weekend. Mother Nature was good to me and I decided to run outside. Nice change...
I managed to sneak away from the kids on Saturday.(They are out of school for 2 weeks!ahhhhhh!! kidding....) I traveled to the mountains and visited Ober Gatlinburg Ski Center. Because of the 70 degree weather the snow was slush.
I really wanted to go skiing, but didn't bring ski gear. Maybe in Jan? I went ice skating instead. It was so much fun! I haven't been since I was 12. I use to be able to skate well, but not anymore. It was scary watching me - felt like I was learning to walk again. LOL!
BTW, Thanks Shosh for the ski/iceskate idea.
Gonna take the boys to a movie tomorrow. Any ideas?
Peace.

I got an iPod touch as well! I am having so much fun with it! You will have to tell me how the armband holds up. and how long is the actual band? Happy running!
Congrats on the mileage!!!! I am so not the stats girl...I have no idea how many miles I ran this year...hmmm...maybe it is something to work on for next year :0)
Happy New Year Dave!
haha running data is the best! Not boring at all :D
Your gadgets are awesome...I get so excited over running loot. I still need some running gloves (that is my excuse why I don't run outside in the cold...!)
Great mileage this past week!
Angela
Sweet loot! Congrats on the mileage!
Wow on the mileage! Great job taking advantage of the awesome weather :)
I've run out of things to do with my munchkins, & I still have the rest of the week. I think I'll actually be glad to go to work tomorrow night & the next one after.
Santa was VERY good to you!
Is it weird that I'm totally excited you got a Nike+? Probably. But be sure to share your thoughts! I'm sure I'll have to replace my old school iPod shuffle soon, so I'll be looking at upgrading my Nike+ sportband too.
The ipod touch looks very cool. Can't wait to see how you like it. Great job on the mileage for the year. Enjoy the rest of your mini vacation.
Nice miles total, Dave! I'll be interested to see how you use the camelbak device, too. I have one for biking (well, for the Army, but use it on the bike), and I love it!
Congrats on the 700 miles! You rock!
seven hunnert miles-dude-you are a running machine! Great score on the running stuff. I got squat for running.
Congrats on the mileage!! And it looks like Santa was very good to you and wants you to keep up with the running!
Enjoy your vaycay and your great Xmas loot. The i-Touch should be awesome. I have the i-Phone and LOVE it. Happy new year.
I am so jealous! My bro-in-law got an iTouch and I fell in love! (with the iTouch not my bro ha ha). I've been experimenting with a Blackberry recently and I'm not liking it all that much. Just think...you have instant access to all blogs all the time! :-) (well, in wi-fi areas of course)
Great job on the 700 miles - that is a HUGE accomplishment and you should be pretty proud of yourself! I see great things ahead for you in '09 - you have turned a corner on this journey and there's no looking back!
Good job Dave, you rock!
Oh by the way, we LOVE running data. Ha ha...runners live and breathe DATA.
Data rocks.
Hey there. WOW you made out like a bandit this Christmas. I am still dealing with my iPod mini from the first generation LOL and we even get a discount here on Apple stuff.
I am glad that I planted the idea of skiing in your head. I am heading back up on the 1st for the day. It was like ice skating but down hill last week. I think that I would have prefered the slush.
BTW...I did not know you too were a skier. :-) Love the running data, it's so inspiring. Keep it up.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh.... running porn!!! That is quite phenomenal in term of hitting 700 miles this year. That is so awesome!
FYI - I love data. I love anything statistical. I am addicted to numbers. I am eager to see your data. Roll the numbers out dude!
Happy New Year ! I cannot wait to see what 2009 brings for you and your running regiment!
I found your blog through Dusty's. Looks like you got some great presents and your tree is just beautiful. Looking forward to reading more about your running!
I added you to my blogroll...except thousands of hits your way. lol. jk. Ok, maybe 8 and 7 will be from me.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!!!
Your running mileage is awsome, keep it up. I will be chasing you shortly.
Sounds like you made out like a bandit on Christmas!
Glad you're having a good post-Christmas holiday.
Happy new year!
Hey Dave,
WOOHOO!!! Sweet gifts you received!!! Ipod touch rocks!!! I have one although i know nothing about the nike thing.....should i???
I fell yesterday while running and my garmin flew off my arm. The band broke so it is currently on its way back to garmin for a replacement or repair!!! UGH!! Now i cannot start logging my mileage as of tomorrow!!!! Oh well!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!!! Keep it real in 09 dude!!!!
Nice on the 700 miles!!
Great running stash too from santa! I've been thinking about the iPod touch too. Good to know it works well with the Nike sensor.
Wishing you all the best in the coming year :)
BOLT!
I say bolt.
but that mightcould be because my 3 year old is addicted and Ive seen it five times.
I say bolt.
did i mention the movie bolt?
Great mileage and even better holiday score! Enjoy the vacay.
I have no "set in stone goals" but maybe a milage goal would be what I should shoot for. Tomorrow is the start of my half marathon program. I'm going to run three BEFORE our 10k. LOL. Yea my dog is fast. Maybe a little TOO fast. But thats what I want, to get faster so I'll just have to chase her down now won't I?
Happy 2009!
Looks like Santa was good to you this year! Love all the new running gear.
I love Gatlinburg. You're so lucky!
How is 2009 treating ya?
