July recap

13 workouts
(a trip to Vegas, must be negative 5 workouts ...)
18.19 outdoor miles

7/31/06

Outdoor run:

31:00

NikePlus says:
3.61 miles

gmap pedometer says:
3.64 miles

I am apparently the person they use to uncalibrate the NikePlus system. I'm splitting the difference and going with a pace of 7.0 mph. It was really windy.

7/29/06

Outdoor run:
32:28

gmap says 3.87 miles
NikePlus says 3.87 miles
(and this is totally uncalibrated, weird!)

so that gives me: 7.15 mph

yay! now, granted, i did stop twice of my own volition and once for a stoplight.

7/28/06

36 minutes of yoga

7/26/06

Outdoor run:

(uncalibrated iRun)
It says:
4.17 miles
32:48

gmap pedometer says:
3.82 miles

I believe gmap since I have not calibrated the NikePlus thingy yet.

Which means:
6.99 mph average

I only stopped once, well, twice, if you count the stoplight. My body is accustomed to a rest at 20 minutes. :)

Did I mention it was 108 today? As I drove home from the gym, a sign said it was still 98 degrees. I was still soggy when I got home, a half hour later.

7/22/06

J came over and we did some together off of Tivo. Got headaches. Deleted the evil one.

7/13/06

Outdoor run:
3.44 miles
29:50
6.92 mph average
for what it's worth, my average HR says 141, but when i left the house it said my HR was 42.
a much better run, i only stopped once at ~21 minutes; i just kept setting new goals (reach that street, finish this song) and let myself go as slow as i wanted, telling myself i could stop any time. did i mention the gigantic hill i have to walk up at the end of every run, with the absolute steepest part right at the end, no exaggeration.

7/10/06

Treadmill: 2.0% incline, 20 minutes, 2.21 miles
Elliptical: 30 minutes

A better workout. I think I just have to realize that I need to go a bit slower and build back up. It feels like I've never run before.
