Thnaks sooo MUCH Betty I have no Idea where this Funk came from Just know it's there. I woke up today witha Mirgrain again Man alive having these 1-2 times a week really is crappy, I felt like I was really hot so I got out the ear themometer and my temp is 103 no wonder I feel like crap. So I guess today I will rest and take some Drugs and Hopefully Don't get sicker. I ahd a Plan but, no matter I can start tomorrow so that's what I will do.

Happy Monday...

My goal for this week is to add 12 miles to the group.

Starting off with some mileage to add at the beginning of the week is always a good thing!

Monday ~ 3 miles

I am wondering if/how you runners calculate approximate calories burned from the runs? I am trying to play with fitday.com and wonder if the calories are pretty accurate? Do you add in the time or have a different way of trying to approximate the cals burned?

Hope you feel better, iyamama, migranes are not fun

Re: Cool Running For The Last Week Of June 2006!!

Kjs .. I wear a heart rate monitor that calculates my calories burned, based on my weight and heart rate .. for me, at 98 pounds, I burn roughly 90-95 calories per mile when I run at about 4.5 mph. The more you weigh, the more calories you burn. Also, the slower you run, the more percentage of your calories burned will be FAT.

Monday: 6.3 miles done!

Re: Cool Running For The Last Week Of June 2006!!

OK, me again, I was MIA and AWOL again. But that said, 5 miles this morning, a bit slow and walked some. I don't think I was hydrated enough from yesterday, had a couple of drinks which messes up hydration big time, but only a couple of minutes off my usual (as of late) time.

4.6 mile race on the 4th, I think I'll be hardpressed to beat last years time. But my niece is running with me this year.

Fabulous mileage additions!


Tues ~ 3 miles downhill jog (brief walking intermission )

TTDriver~ OMG you weigh as much as my right leg!!! Well not quite, but is sure feels my legs are 100#s each at the very end of my run. Did you ever have any amount of fat on your body or were you always a totally fit & healthy runner? HR monitors are great, my DH would like to buy one for me so now that I am running it would be a good time to encourage him! I have heard that by jogging slower you burn more fat, so I must be burning it up b/c I am very slow! So if we are low carbing it, where is the "other" caloric burn coming from if not fat & not carbs?

WAIT, LET ME STOP ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING................

Okay, now, I'll try and quit long enough to answer your question!! FAT? OMG, YES! I blossomed quite ugly into a middle-aged frump before starting Atkins in 2002!! And girl, I was the QUEEN OF THE COUCH POTATOES.........ugh, I am totally ashamed to admit it now, but believe it or not, I told DH back then that I was *TOO TIRED TO EXERCISE* .. which of course, led me right into FLABVILLE... Was it any wonder I had joint pain in my hips, knees and ankles back then .. WELL DUH!

Never ran a day in my life prior to November 1, 2003...now closing in on 3 SOLID YEARS! WHODDATHUNKTHAT?

My maintenance plan for the rest of my life is to run more than I eat! So far, so good!

Wednesday: 6.3 miles in 93 degrees.

Re: Cool Running For The Last Week Of June 2006!!

Yay for me, twice in one week, will I make it 3 or 4?. Best 5 mile time in 2006, 50:24. I really wanted to break 50 minutes, but an untied shoelace and some slow spots cost me the time.

I'm a bit behind in my mileage from last year, by about 50 miles, but I'll make it up in July and August. Last June was a high mileage month for me, but I have another day left.

Re: Cool Running For The Last Week Of June 2006!!

YA it's 93 in Canada and it's supposed to be cooler today Yesterday was Brutal and not beeing accustomed to that my Poor body wanted to DIE. My plan for today is to do a workout Vid since I have 5 kids and Hop on the TM later it's only supposed to be in the mid 70's today PHEW I can't handle the heat then it's supposed to go right back up into the 90's OHHH YUCK MAN!!!!

I am feeling better Betty Just haven't been running as much DUE to the HEAT I don't know how you do it girl Hats off to you!!!

Re: Cool Running For The Last Week Of June 2006!!

Girl, the heat totally ZAPS me too .. even living with hot weather for 9+ months out of the year .. its still tough and requires alot of conditioning to adjust. Some days, my body just WON'T GO in the heat .. and its a battle to the finish.

Today was pretty good .. I did my lunchhour run of 4.3 miles in 50 minutes flat. 11:38 pace .. which was okay, given the heat. I always figure its better to go slower and keep the HR under control than to have a STROKE out there!

So the end of June, exactly 6 months into my 1,500 mile goal and I'm at 791 miles completed....MORE THAN HALF WAY THERE with 6 months to go! There's hope I can actually do it!
