A Marathon a Week
Lately, I’ve been running 30+ miles a week. A full marathon is 26.2 miles (42.195 km), so I’ve been running at least a marathon a week. This has been very easy to do since I’ve been away from the hospital for residency interviews. I start back at the hospital on Monday. I have made a goal to try and run a marathon a week for the next year. When I start residency, this is going to be a very challenging endeavor, but I’m going to give it my best. If I run a marathon a week for the next year, that will be 1,362 miles in the next 52 weeks. Luckily, I have the very sweet (I highly recommend it) Nike + iPod running system, so tracking my mileage is a breeze. All the data is even uploaded to a website that is already tracking my goal and displaying super neat graphs. I really do love this system (thanks, Micah!)
