I realized I'm getting fat. I've decided to take up jogging again, followed by math and poker, but that's beside the point. Please help me achieve my 500 mile goal. I NEED to do this ... or else I'm fucked OS wise next year.

It's a pedometer you put in your shoes. You insert a wireless receiver into the jack at the bottom where you plug in your iPod to the PC. It wirelessly updates the data from the pedometer to the device. You can see how far you've run AS you run. It's pretty damn accurate.

almost a third there! you have to run 20mi in 13 days... a mile and a half a day. it doesn't sound like a lot to me but i guess when you have to do it for 13 days in a row (or take longer runs less frequently) it starts to hurt.

but good on you for doing this. i'd rather use a stationary bike/bike.

don't worry about it - setting a goal that is too hard is probably better then setting one that is too easy.

best of success next month!

It wasn't hard. I just party'd way too much.

My tolerance has been built up to where I can easily do four miles now :)
