I am in the process of doing a virtual run from my home in DC to our possible new home in Punta Gorda, FL. It is about 1,003 miles. I ran every day this week except Monday (we were flying home from Florida). Here's how it breaks down:
Monday: Off
Tuesday: 3 miles
Wednesday: 3 miles
Thursday: 4 miles
Friday: 6.25 miles
Saturday: 3.25 miles
Sunday: 4.5 miles
On my virtual run to Florida, I am now at Ruther Glen, VA, which is just north of Richmond. I'm approaching King's Dominion, an amusement park I've frequented several times and features a 1/3-size replica of the Eiffel Tower (332 feet high). The map below shows the start near my house in South East DC and my finish today in Virginia.

Total Distance Run This Week: 24 miles
Total Distance Run in 2010: 79 miles
Total Run Time: 10 hours 58 minutes 26 seconds
My Virtual Distance to Punta Gorda: 924 miles
I am actually ahead of schedule on my run. To complete the distance by the end of the year, I need to run an average of 2.75 miles each day. Through today, if I did the minimum milage, I would only be at mile 66, so I'm 13 miles farther.
PUSH UPS
I am also trying to improve my strength by doing push ups.
Goal for the year: 10,000
Tuesday: 60
Thursday: 65
Sunday: 65
Total Push Ups This Week: 190
Push Ups in 2010: 436
I am behind schedule on the push ups, but I'm continuing to improve my weekly count. I'm hoping to catch up down the road.
