One of my "New Year's Resolutions" is to run a half-marathon. I've been talking about it for awhile with both my friend Stephanie and sister Melanie. In early December Stephanie and I ran a 5K and were pleasantly suprised with our times. The past few weeks it has been harder to get in a good running schedule with the holidays and colder weather. However, the past few days it's been warmer--not to mention I've had more time on my hands--so I ventured out and did some jogging again. I don't know why it is always like this, it takes me forever to motivate myself to go, but I always feel better once I do. Anyways, I came across this website the other day where you can calculate your mileage. It's great. City blocks are not very uniform here, so it's hard for me to figure out how far I've gone. I was especially excited because I had underestimated how far I had been running and had been really disappointed in my time. Click here to check it out!

Congrats Carrie. I will be running in a half marathon in March. If I can do it, you can too. Do you have an Ipod? Nike+ is my favorite invention and it tells you how far you go. Anyway, good luck.
That is a cool website, except that it told me I was not running quite as far as I thought. boo.
