In January 2009, I got the Nike+ app and sensor, and ran 1.55 miles. It took me almost 22 minutes, which is slower than a 14:00 mile.
Today I ran the Frederick Half Marathon and achieved all three goals for myself. 1) I did not die. 2) I ran the entire race. 3) I finished in 2:18:40, which is about a 10:37 mile pace and over a minute faster than the 2:20:00 goal I had set for myself!
And oh yes, I totally bought a decal for my car.
