Nike Plus

Adrian has challenged Seth and I to a Nike Plus showdown.  Even though I’ve been running for 10+ years now, I have never been quite the distance runner.  I used to run cross-country and track through high school.  I think our 4×800 relay team had the fastest time in the nation at one point.  But, I’ve never been the distance runner.  I think my fastest time ever for the 5K was 17:57 (when I was 17) so to see Adrian’s time of 25:14 for 4 miles is quite an impressive feat. I ran a 2 mile race a couple of months ago and came in around 12:50 but that was me peaking and almost passing out at the finish line (try running in 90+ degree humid heat in New Orleans).  

I’m up for a challenge.  Maybe a combination of the fastest run and most miles?  Since Adrian tore his calf muscle, we’re looking to start the challenge on the week of February 10th.  If you’re up for a challenge, leave your Nike+ screename below..
