Before Christmas I decided to go back to eating primarily vegan and vegetarian food, to cut out drinking pretty regularly, and to get my beer belly away from behind the Macbook more often...

I have a love/hate relationship with running (doing it on my skateboard-damaged knees _sucks_) but I've set myself a goal to run at least 5 miles a week, every week this year whenever I possibly can. Totally doable seeing as the little circuit I mapped out around my neighborhood works out around a mile-and-a-half.

There's also this just in front of my office:

I dug my old iPod Nano out from the cupboard so I can track my stats using Nike+ which, handily enough, has a challenge called 210 Miles in 2010 that I've signed up for.

After roughly a mile yesterday that I forgot to take the iPod along on, and another today where I had to calibrate the Nike+ because I hadn't used it in so long and I should be ready to start actually logging the miles I'm running. I'm hoping that the semi-public nature of the challenge will motivate me to keep going with it a little more than my usual attempts to stick at exercising.

My legs are already complaining but I'm viewing the aches as a sign that good things are gonna come from it.

Here's to 2010. I like it already...
