Ran 9 miles today, woohoo! (14.4 km, doh I thought 9 miles was 15k ... maybe next time). I've been reading on running and I decided to slow down my pace and go for a long run. I felt pretty good after an hour and a half of running.

Started counting my calories. I want to be 180 by May 1 this year. This way, I will have lost 40 pounds in a year.

Miles today: 9 miles, 1h 30m 49 sec, pace 10 min 5 sec / mile.
Miles this year: 69 miles

Worked out with weights this morning: chest and triceps.

I just realized how I'm not lifting weights as much as I should. This is only my fourth workout this month. I have been concentrating on running, which is great, but I need to do more weights to improve my overall fitness.

I will also start to count calories again with the help of www.calorie-count.com . I've been eating at night and I think I gained a pound or two. Might as well cut that crap out before I gain more weight.

Times worked out this month: 4

I ran 3 miles today. I was going to try 9 miles, but the treadmill died on me :( Happening too often at the gym. Those machines are getting old. I can't wait to start running outside when the weather permits. Hopefully they'll ship my GPS watch this week. Woot.

Miles today: 3 miles, 26 min 32 sec, pace: 8min 52 sec/mile.
Miles this year: 63miles.

Woohoo! Ran a 10k (6.25 miles) in under 57 minutes.

Check out the new toy I ordered last week. It's a Garmin 305 GPS watch. It tells you in real time your speed, distance, and elevation in real time. It also has a heart rate monitor. You can also upload the data to your computer. Weeeee. It's brand new. They are only shipping them in the next few days.

Worked out at the gym ... arms and shoulders

Times worked out this month : 3

I ran 8 miles at the gym in Moncton. Felt pretty good, but after running 1 hour and 17 minutes, I could feel that I ran a ton. I feel good now though. I'm always careful about warming up, cooling down, and stretching a lot after long runs.

I'm looking into GPS watches for when I start running outside. I didn't know they existed until recently. It'll give you (in real time) your speed, distance, altitude. The one I'm looking at also has a heart rate monitor. It'll download the whole thing to your computer so you can track your progress. Neato. Looks like a great training tool + I love gadgets :D


Miles today: 8, 1 hour 17m 24s, pace: 9min 40sec/mile (6.25mph) - very cool.

I went to the gym at 7:30 PM tonight. The gym was packed! Still some people hanging on to their new year's resolutions I suppose. It won't last long :) I worked out my biceps and shoulders.

Times worked out this month: 1

Ran a 10k today (6.25 miles) despite having phlegmy lungs from a cold I'm trying to fight off. It didn't bother me at all while running, and I felt great after cooling down.

I can't wait to go running outside. It' impossible right now because of the cold weather here in north/east Canada. I could gear up for the cold, but I would probably just risk injury because we've had a lot of slush that froze up. I'll continue practicing running indoors and will probably hit the streets in early April of this year. I also hope I can find a few 5k and 10k races to run this summer. I'm just learning this running thing and I'm having a blast.

Miles today: 6.25 (10 kilometers), 57m 15 sec, pace: 9:09 minutes/mile - not too shabby.

Went to the gym to run but I felt dizzy after 3 miles ... not good on a treadmill. So I quit that and did 3 x 7 chin ups, some push ups, and ab work. Better luck next time.
