87.79 Miles in 2010

Well, I got a bit derailed today. I am in College Station, and I had planned to use the hotel treadmill for my 25-minute run today. Alas, the treadmill was out of order.

I thought, "Fine. I'll try the elliptical." Dude, that's hard! I think I am not coordinated enough for the elliptical. 0.3 miles was enough for me.

So I did 3.5 bike miles (1 challenge mile) instead.

I'm moving to my mom's in Austin tomorrow, and she has a treadmill. I'm planning for Thursday, so we'll see.

47.22 Miles in 2010

I went to the Rec at lunch, and it was packed! It cleared out by around 12, so next time I'll go then. Since the treadmills were full, I started with 3.5 miles on the bike (= 1 challenge mile). Then I got on the treadmill and did Couch to 5K Week1 plus for 2.12 miles.

Here's the link to my Nike+ graph. I don't know why it doesn't show the intervals more clearly. I was switching between 3.8 (walk) and 4.7 (run).

Edited to say I fixed it. Thanks, Laura!

44.1 Miles in 2010

This morning, I went and joined the Rec Center in our town. Every time we check out a new service of the PARD, we are impressed, and today was no different. My fees for the year are $60, and if Bryan decides to join, it's only another $45. The downsides are that it is closed on Sunday and has no childcare. 24-Hour Fitness may get me, yet!

I had to wait for one of the three treadmills (cute old people walking!), so I did 2 miles (~.6 challenge miles) on the bike to warm up. Once my turn, I did the following:

Walk .25 miles
Nike+ Walk calibration for 0.5 miles
Nike+ Run calibration for 0.25 miles
..
3 intervals of:
Walk 0.25 miles
Run 0.25 miles
..
Walk 0.5 miles

For a total of 3 treadmill miles. Plus the .6 from the bike is 3.6 challenge miles.
