Going to Chicago, Forrest Gump style......

I had a great run with Kelvin this morning on the trail in Ridgeland. What little rain we got yesterday just made things more humid. After the run, Kelvin and I were talking about the Nike + thing I wear with my iPod Nano. He asked if it keeps all the miles and workouts, or just the last one I ran. I explained that is one of the things I like most about it, as it takes you to a Nike website that graphs all your runs, and you can track your pace, total miles, miles by week, month, etc.
Anyway, he asked how many miles total, and I currently have about 400 since we began the MM training. I haven't worn it for various reasons on every work out and run, so If I add in just a few, I figure we have about 450 miles. Some of you obviously run faster, or more miles, and some less than me, but for the most part we are probably all around the 400-500 mile range. With that said, and with playing with Mapquest, we have all trained a distance far enough to be in the state of Illinois by now.... In fact, I am somewhere around Benton IL, which is just East of St. Louis, MO. By October, we will all have made it to Chicago, and just in time to start the marathon. Cool, huh? If we did this thing Forrest Gump style, we could all get there in time for the race. I can smell the cabbage already! Whew!!!
