Who doesn’t love a lofty goal?  For 2010, I decided to up my mileage and walk, run, row, or swim 2010 miles.  Since I completed 1000 miles in 2009 (inspired by this awesome <a href="http://fittingbackin.blogspot.com/">girl</a>), I decided I wanted a bigger and more diversified mark since I walked and ran all 1000 miles last year.  This year I am adding swimming to the mix.  We are trying to convince our awesome <a href="http://www.amli.com/">building</a> to get a rowing machine for the gym so I can relive my awesome five minutes on the Lehigh University crew team.   This is also the year that the Boyfriend is convinced he will teach me how to swim a mile and ride a bike.  Yes, I don’t know how to bike, swim, or drive a car.  I’m going to focus on the bike and the car later but I might be starting swimming lessons soon!

The 2010 Miles in 2010 project came about before I learned that the Boyfriend is running the Chicago marathon in October.  I’m super and excited about this and have tried to join him by running smaller races this summer.  We will be <strong>TEAM BEARS</strong> when we run our first race together, the Race for the Lincoln Park Zoo in June.  This humble 5K will be a breeze for him since he runs 5-6 miles daily already but for me it will be something fun and new.

So why 2010 Miles in 2010 on the <em>I Only Wear Dresses</em> blog?  For the running skirts of course!  I usually wear crops or shorts when working out but I’ve wanted cute running skirts like the kind used during cheerleading days.  Enter my newest obsession:  <a href="http://www.adidas.com/campaigns/stella/content/default.asp?strCountry_adidascom=us">Stella McCartney</a> for Adidas.  I have a soft spot for Adidas since they outfitted our entire grade school when I was younger but Stella McCartney’s designs are fun and oh so cute.  And since I think everything in the world should be elegant and lovely, I decided to upgrade my workout gear to these lovely pieces while I complete 210 miles this month.
