April Fooled

I just realized that I had not really posted anything "Badgering"-related last April (I'm back-dating this, as I forgot to post it last April 30th)....Not that I did not do anything last month. On the contrary, I thought they'd finally give me my Off-the-Beaten Path badge after making a lot of runs on trails a few weeks back. That obviously didnt happen (I finally earned the "Trail Mix" badge this early May) ---still I waited till the very last week of April to post anything "badge-related" here because of "rumors" that there would be a "Make It Count" Badge (shown below, according to howtonike.blogspot.com thread) to be given for runs done (last) April 28, 2013:
I <3 NY/NY is supposedly the Hurricane Sandy/Make It Count Badge?

 I dunno...hmmmm...it seemed highly "questionable" to me that an "I "heart" NY/NJ" would be a Make It Count badge and/or much less a "Hurricane Sandy" badge...since... well...as far as I can recall Hurricane or Super-storm Sandy happened last year...in October! and I know not of a Sandy living in NY or NJ (especially) that can count! :-P Tee-hee! I'm kidding!

If anything...well...the "Make It Count" badge would be more appropriate probably for the Nike Women's Half-Marathon last April 28th...but that was in DC...uhm, Washington right? So this Hurricane Sandy/I heart NY/NJ or Make It Count..whatever you call it badge doesn't really make sense...and if it wasn't posted on the NikePlus.Nike.com site I/we wouldn't really have made such a big deal out of it....





Hey, maybe this is Nike+ Running's version of April Fools!!! :-P except...April Fools falls on April 01!
