    Just wondering. I'm considering starting to run on a regular basis. I've done it like twice in two weeks in SOOO bad times, so I just need to get off my ass and run. problem is, I have so much work the next three weeks.
    Anyway, I've started using runkeeper to keep me motivated. And I need you to kick me in the butt so I don't stop!!

    So brag about your runs here, make me feel lazy :/


    btw, http://runkeeper.com/user/FrejaB

    I know it's bad, but hey I'm working on it XD

    I've just started running again. Well, first two days I walked the dog/jogged a little.

    But today I jogged about 80% of it.

    I use My Tracks. :) I've not uploaded any of the data yet though. My times are not currently the best. Seems since I stopped training, its taken be about an extra 5minutes to complete the distance.

    I just created an account on that website though because it looks better, statistically speaking. Are you an elite member or just basic?

    Awesome! I didn't know you could set up biking , I might do that too since I bike A LOT XD

    And Junior, I believe I'm just basic. I think I bought nike + ipod or what it's called, but it keeps saying "walk around to activate your censor" so I got sick of it and god runkeeper. Think it's pretty nice, and cool that it's free :p

    Woot woot better to run outdoors than on a treadmill and music always helps...do you have the Nike+ shoe app, I highly recommend it since it's very accurate but it might cost you a few $$$.

    PS. Are the marathons in other countries still 26miles/42km, or by definition is a marathon always the same distance?

    It's way too cold to be running outdoors here, but I sometimes jog in front of the tv while watching Simpsons or some documentary (I can't watch tv with good conscience without multitasking with something else :p ). I really don't care about for how long I do it, but it keeps in helping me cut down on cigarettes until it's warmer and I can start running outdoors again. =)
