Cross-Training: Walking

Monday, 02 April 2007 | 06:33 pm

Notes:
w00t! I actually got to stick to my workout schedule today. It said "Cross-Train" and cross-train I did! Of course, it was only a 4.2 mile walk/jog but I feel like I've accomplished a lot. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to rest and then Wednesday should be my 7 mile run. I'm pretty sure I can do that in two days. Anyway, I was able to burn a good 344 calories… Most of which "returned" via a huge supper. Oops!

Long Run Training: 10 miles

Sunday, 01 April 2007 | 07:32 pm

Notes:
First day of April and I totally missed doing my yearly April Fools pranks this year. I hope it's not a sign of growing up or summat. >_< In any case; my run — as you can see, I made up for last week. Instead of running the prescribed 10 miles, I went for 13 miles today and it was pretty bad. Ok, maybe it wasn't so bad; I really think I'm improving, despite the fact that I have not been able to train during the week– I still average about 13:48 minutes/mile, though. This means, I walk more rather than run. :( One thing that's pretty neat is I burned 1,354 calories. Of course, I didn't take into account the 200 calories as replenishment thanks to the ClifShot Bloks I take; it's basically a concentrated carbohydrate/potassium/electrolyte boost to keep me going. I eat 1 block every 30 minutes and each block has about 50 calories. It's yummy; tastes like gummi candy, sans the powdery texture. Next weekend, 15 miles. This week, it should be 3 miles on Tuesday, 7 miles on Wednesday, and then 4 miles on Thursday. If I can at least do a 3 and 7 miler, I think I'll be able to confidently tackle my 15 miler…Wish me luck!
