    Keeping it on track. My knees are still hangin' in there. I've started drawing pictures with my runs on the map using my Garmin GPS watch. Heh.... It makes extending the run distances a little more interesting. Big mall parking lots make a nice canvas, but it's a lot harder to visualize and implement than I though it would be. I wonder if I'm the only weirdo that does this.

    I've never done it purposely, but it always makes for a nice surprise when I get home and can say "oh, I drew a whale!". Maybe I should start planning for it :smiley:

    I think I'm fairly on track to make my goal for the month. I'm just about to make a tentative plan of run days and lengths, so that I know how I'll do it. Also today's run was my fastest ever which was a great feeling! (32 minute 5k)

    I've never heard of that. But I just bought myself a GPS watch this week (yay!), and I'm definitely going to try that. Sounds like fun :D
    I think mapmyrun has some routes that have been done to make pictures of dogs or other items but typically on roads. They are much longer runs than my current level allows but one day I think it would be fun to do some of them.

    My doctor cleared me to run after two weeks off. I eased back into it with an easy 3.5 miles. I cut my original goal down from 75 miles and probably come up short on that. I want to sure my feet are completely healed before I start ramping up the mileage.
