Nike Plus New Year Challenge

January 6th, 2009 mark Leave a comment Go to comments

So I’ve started the New Year with a resolution or two…

Number 1: Learn to run (again).

I have learned about diet and fitness and muscle growth over the last year or so - and it has been fantastic. However, I have slipped with my routine since moving to Australia. Lots of partying and lack of routine has payed havoc with things. But now it is time to settle back into things.

Now - as a bloke - there is nothing more likely to make you try harder than a bit of competition. So I jumped at the chance when a mate from Uni suggested on Facebook that he is going to run 100KM a month. We both have a Nike+ and decided to challenge each other. The system is great - allowing you to set a challenge and then see who gets there first. Ours is “greatest number of kilometres in 30 days”. I tried out the system tonight with just a 2.6K run and it works great.

Now I just need to step up to the plate and show him what I’ve got. Bring it on Martin Arndt!!!
