  • 4 miles to the gym, avg pace 9:25 (walked every 6 minutes)
  • weightlifting at the gym
  • barely missed the bus to catch a ride home, so I ran a mile up the hill to the next stop ;)

I did not expect to be running this much this soon, so I am very happy.  Everything is feeling great as long as I keep it safe.  I've been pushing it past what the recommendations are, only because I have yet to feel any pain or tightness (I should still only be at 20 minutes and at a slower pace). I'm going to keep it to every other day through next week and then go from there.  I have my eyes on the Spectrum 10K on March 19th (2.5 weeks).  As of right now, I'm hoping to run straight through all 6 miles at about 8 or 9 avg pace with no achilles issues.  Can't wait!

Looks great! But, RAD is right, there is something wrong with your Calorie calculation. There is no way you are only burning 60 calories per mile. You have your weight input correctly into your Garmin, right?

I agree ... your calorie count is totally off!!!! Just do what I do ... guess!!! Hee Hee!!!

Nice job on the running. I am so happy for you. Continue to be smart so that we can party at Spectrum! :)
