I completed my goal of running / walking 1 million meters (621 miles) across a year.  I tracked my exercise with a fantastic app called zombies run.  The app tracks your run and interjects a “radio drama” between songs on your playlist – where you are the main character.   It also has a great interval training function where you have to outrun zombies.  I’ve kept my focus on simply logging miles and enjoying the story.   It’s been a great lesson in setting and tracking goals.

The app gives great feedback on your runs.

I’ve always believed in long slow distance training.  Surprisingly a winter of long walks in hiking boots and 10 layers of clothing really kept me in shape, and I quickly ramped up my running miles as soon as the weather became tolerable in running shoes.   I’ll see how I do in the capitol city half marathon.
