Just Silver

Well, it's now kind of "official" (as I am wrapping this blog, its already early July), the only new "achievement" I get for June is a shiny Silver Mile High trophy [for running 40kms or so but not over 80 in a month(?)] My first actually. And, I don't really know why....since Im pretty sure I always run over 100kms in a month...go figure. Must be a "cut-off" delay thingie. Anyways, the Silver Mile High Trophy comes with this uhmm.. cheer-quote:

"Hi Ho Silver. And Away You Go":

Now for those of you in the know, you might recognize that "Hi Ho Silver" from the American Classic...what?
Clue: It involves a Masked Cowboy, and an Indian...Silver is actually his horse

Who comes up with this? \(>_<)/ Anyways, Nike+ Running...you also owe me a Stormproof Badge!

June Jogs & Jinx(?)

I haven't been jogging the past couple weeks of June. Not more than my usual numbers anyways. I've already fallen behind (and on my behind ;-) in my Nike+ Friends standings (as of last time, I think I'm barely hanging in the top 5 :-( Although, over-all I think I'll catch up and still end up having more than 100 miles before the month ends (coz you know, that's how I roll :-P, er, run )

The reason(s) for this "pace" is quite calculated and uhm...charted. First, its been raining quite lot this month --at least 2-3x a week (quite heavily on some days). I wouldn't be able to use my GPS Phone App without it getting drenched. Also, because of this, the particular routes which I usually take (mostly by riverbanks) are sometimes,  outright un-passable (pics next week!). However, and again, because of these I have set my sights on the following "Achievements and Badges": 1) Stormproof Badge (shown below, thanks to Mr. Jon Fuller for screenshot---see? It does exist!) 2) Comfort Zone badge (i still have to look for an actual one) and 3) a Bronze Trophy (the only trophy I havent got in my collection...coz I always have lotsa runs that exceed 20kms a week)

I wonder who owns this one? I hope to get mine by this month's end
Do you hear me Nike+ Running!??

Well, I hope I don't "jinx" myself setting these badge goals in my blog like this (I think, I may already have :( "Running" my mouth...er, "expectations" like this. Anyways, I'll post some "picture stories" by month's end. Keep running badgers!
