2014 Nike+ Summary

Here's a quick summary of my Nike+ activity for the year of 2014.

Who else can say they did a run in Alaska! The 3 in California were for Ragnar SoCal! 96 in Texas, mostly with Social Runners! And 1 in Florida while I was traveling there for work.

This graph shows how many miles I ran per month, along with some handy statistics. In total I put in just shy of 500 miles in just shy of 90 hours.

Clearly, I run most often on Wednesday. It is a run day, after all.

And, lastly, I ran mostly in the evenings in 2014 - largely due to the weekly Wednesday runs with Social Running, I'm sure. Interesting that I have a nearly even percentage for morning and afternoon.

Beachmania Half Marathon

This post is for an outdated event, but I wanted to get it on my blog. Back on Sunday, 4 March 2012 I ran my 4th half marathon: the Charlie Alewine Beachmania Half Marathon along Huntington Beach in California.

My training paid off as I dropped my time to run 13.1 miles from 2:10'22" to 1:56'56" (14' improvement). 

The event was SUPER low-key; only some 30 participants. Charlie keeps things intimate. There were no mile markers, no fancy start or finish lines, no chips - just a good, ole, plain race. It was an out-n-back along Huntington Beach. It was a great race!

It was an especially fun event because I got to do the race with my mom! = )
