I really enjoy running. I never used to enjoy running until I discovered that I could capture and organize data with fancy watches (also, I like food, so the calorie offset doesn’t hurt). I like running because I like being outside. It’s a good place to think. In 2013 my goal was to run 500 miles. After logging 520 miles, I wanted to push myself even more in 2014. I set that goal at 749 miles. Conceptually it is the distance from where I currently live to where I grew up. To keep track of my goal in 2013 I made a basic text website to help keep track of whether I was on pace or needed to catch up. Since I already had the basic JavaScript solved, I decided to create a more visually engaging version so others could follow along.
