Chee to the Hoo! I am at Level Blue!
By the hair of my chinny chin chin, I finally hit Nike+ Level Blue, which means I have accumulated 1000 kilometers (or 621 miles) since starting on Nike+ back in March 2009. I had set a goal for myself to do this by the end of May but unfortunately, that didn’t happen. I did run the distance but on my last run when I supposed to have hit Level Blue, my iPod Nano (ironically called “Little Bloo”) decided to freeze and when I had to hard reset it, I lost the run. I was a grrr-bag, to put it mildly. Oh well, better late than never.
So, what’s next? Well, the next level is Purple which is 931 miles away. Needless to say, I’m not shooting for that anytime soon as that is just too far to reach. Who knows though? I had said the same thing about Level Blue and here I am; I have to say that it’s a miracle that I made it this far. On the other hand, I may have to consider giving my joints a rest from running because of my arthritis, but the strange thing is that I’m enjoying running more due to my weight training. By improving my flexibility and strength in my back and arms, I feel it really makes running bearable and enjoyable in addition to giving me the endorphin afterglow.
Never say never, I guess. Here’s to the next goal…however long that may take!
