Viirtual Run from DC to FL -- Update #16

This is another update on my progress doing a virtual run from our home in DC to our vacation home in Punta Gorda, Fl. It is a distance of about 1,003 miles.  You might notice these updates are becoming fewer and farther between, but I am still keeping track of my progress and still plugging along.  Now the big question is will I make it to Punta Gorda before the oil (not likely).

As I mentioned in my last update, I slacked off a bit on my trip to Florida over Memorial Day and fell behind in my progress. To make up for this, I have begun the Streak, which, as of today, is at day 19.  This is by far the most days I've ever run in a row, and I find it a great motivator, because I don't want to mess up my streak, so I run a minimum of 3 miles every day. EVERY DAY!  I realize there are people with much longer streaks.  I've read articles about people that have run every day for 70 years.  I am not one of those people... yet.  I'd have to live to be very old to become one of those people.  Here's an update on my progress.

Total Distance Run Since Last Update (May 26): 84.5 miles

Total Distance Run in 2010: 484 miles

Total Run Time: 66 hours 57 minutes

My Virtual Distance to Punta Gorda: 519

I am on track to being halfway to Florida (over the 500 mile mark) by July 1.  There are 6 more days in June and I plan on running at least 3 miles each day. As far as where I am on my virtual journey, I'm in the middle of South Carolina, just past Interstate 26 on I-95.

PUSH UPS

Goal for the year: 10,000

Total Push Ups Since Last Update: 25

Total Push Ups in 2010:  2,701

I have all but given up on doing the push-ups.  I hate push-ups.  HATE.  I am going to concentrate on the running goal for now.
