this is what happens when you suffer from chronic insomnia: after sorting through books and packing donation boxes, you decide to wash your car, clean your bathroom, lift stains from the carpet, arrange the hangers in your closet so that they’re all equidistant, organize the refrigerator… and when you run out of physically stimulating things to do, you move on to a series of mentally engaging projects. if you’re an obsessive compulsive runner, you keep methodical records of all your runs in that fancy logbook you bought at barnes & noble, filling page after page with an overkill of otherwise meaningless numbers. if you’re a hip, technologically inclined runner, you keep an online log at breakingthetape.com, and revel in the variety of data analysis options available. (if you’re a neurotic runner, you obviously keep both a written and an online version of the log). so playing around with my online log i gathered the following stats from years 2003-2006:
| info | value | date |

| longest distance/month | 176.65 m | nov 2006 |
