Well, they sorta stopped suddenly. That doesn't mean I'm not doing any, it's just that I bought a Garmin Forerunner 305 which does heart rate logging in addition to GPS position logging and other really neat things. It comes with the Garmin Training Center software which allows you to upload those logs and review them in rather crazy detail. So ( Read more... ) -

Did a metabolic assessment today. The key point: my VO2 *SUCKS*. Gotta get my aerobic capability up. I've been pushing myself pretty much exclusively anaerobically. Also decided to up my daily activity (not workouts, just activity, in this case walking) so I can eat a more normal amount of food, but still maintain my weight loss goals. This ( Read more... ) -

I signed up for a metabolic test on Friday. The test requires that I be "well rested, with absolutely no muscle soreness".

So I decided to start doing my exercise in an organised fashion. What does that mean? Well, I've been just pushing myself without any clear goals. I've certainly made progress, but I probably could have done better if I planned things out a bit. For instance, you shouldn't do two hard workouts on back to back days or else you end up over ( Read more... ) -

Just took it easy today. A little over 4 mile walk with the new puppy, not too fast, but did do the hills versus the flats. The lookup table puts it at 525 calories. -
Exercise: Sep, 20
Did a 3.11 mile walk/jog combo. The GPS tracker said my average speed was 5.1mph, so it was definitely more jogging than walking.

Did a little walk/job combo today. Nothing much. 2 1/2 miles total, 1 1/2 miles of it jogging. Only enabled the heart rate monitor for the jogging part, but there was about 10 more minutes of walking ( Read more... ) -
