A Picture is Worth a THOUSAND

I have run  and recorded (a smidge over) 1000 miles since I got my Nike+ on October 10, 2008.   I'm very proud of myself.   I've run winter and summer, through rain and snow, in bright sunshine and in pre-dawn darkness, through thick and thin(ner), when I felt like it and when I didn't. I've run with friends and by myself, on a treadmill (for <10 of those miles) and outside. I've had lots of walking time on my runs and a few 5K races.  I've run in jeans (once) and in my comfy running capris.  I've run to books on tape and to my favorite 60s rock. I've tripped, fallen, and scraped my knees. I've seen bald eagles, prothonatory warblers,  snakes, red winged blackbirds, frogs, wooly caterpillars, squirrels, chipmunks, a fox and a snapping turtle.  I've watched the sun rise, watched it set, been the first to make footprints in new fallen snow, and watched  great Vs of Canada Geese majestically moving through the sky over the broad Potomac.   I'm really a runner!
