Junk Mileage

I've started running again. I have found it keeps me in a better mood and I am less prone to fits of boredom. Check out the link at the bottom. I actually started running in June but I have only recently started logging my mileage.

Pretty cool. I am sure it helps to keep track and see what you are doing.

I need to get back to exercising after my sinus surgery.

Do you run on the road or do you have a local track?

I sent you a PM with my route map.

It's all private gravel roads.

After mountain bike riding and speed hiking for over a year the vaginitis in my knees cleared up and I started trail running mixed in with the mountain biking and hiking. My running isn't pretty, but I feel a lot better and my allergies are not as severe. Most of my running takes place on a gravel Forest Service with a elevation gain of 1000' over 2.5 miles. At the 2.5 mile mark the A.T. crosses the road and I can follow it for an additional elevation gain of 619' over a .5 miles or so. At this point I am at 4019' above sea level. The A.T. pretty much follows the TVD through my area.

Good for you for logging your results. Maintaining a log allows for tracking progress and setting goals, and having a plan for every session, whether for running or toher exercse.

Updated my log. This morning I decided to maintain a mid HR and I ended up increasing my mileage but 25% (5 miles). It felt good and I wasn't smoked at the end.

This is why I love HR training.

It's hard to keep the speed down(No I am not saying I am fast) but it's worth it.

The intent of my workouts is to increase my CV fitness. The beauty is that if you train smart the improvement will happen naturally. It absolutely sucks to run at 14 minutes a mile, but so far...so good!

I took two days off...Because I can. I have totaled nearly 53 miles this month without counting the first week. I am just going to keep going until I can't go anymore....or I can find a real hobby.

Interesting website. I've been logging my runs on the runnersworld.com site. It has lots of charts and graphs that tell me how old, fat, and sllloooowwww I am.

At least we're trying right?

Here's a look at the vertical profile of my 4 Mile route.
