Nike +
I have a new running buddy/coach. For my birthday my parents got me a Nike +, which, for those not "in the know," is a device that syncs with my iPod and a sensor I have in my shoe. I can program it to play certain songs, etc, but more importantly it tracks my distance, time, calories burned, pace, etc. It's like having a treadmill but not being bound to the indoors. I took it on a couple runs this week (including a 10 miler, so I'm progressing!), and it worked great.

Another progressive step I took in training this week was joining the YWCA. Dan and I had meant to join for a while, but we finally went in this week. It was good timing since this is the hottest June week ever, so now I don't have to get up at 5 to run before it gets too hot. Dan bikes and I run or bike (depending on the day) and then we both lift. Weight training and cross training are good additions to just running and it makes training a bit more fun.

This week is pretty relaxed for me (I'm only working Monday and Tuesday) so I should be able to get quite a bit of running in. Now that I'm increasing distance I'll have to see how my knees are doing, but so far all is well. More on this later.
