~3.5mile run. Probably walking later.
walking later.
Oh! I love this idea!
Today: A little over 40 minute run on the treadmill, 3.2 miles. (I did 50 minutes yesterday so I cut it off at 40 today.)
I hope to get the motivation to start doing cardio again soon. I ran three or four days a week until last November, then I lost interest for some reason that I can't explain.
Monday : i was sick. 5k steps, and then i slept like 14 hours.
Tuesday : 15k steps
Today : 11.5k steps so far.
That is really great. Even when you're not feeling so good, you got a couple miles worth of steps.
14.8k steps.
Running in high heels? :mrgreen:Yay for tody! I had a slog yesterday. Just managed to get in 30 minutes of running. My legs were dead. I think it had to do with my footwear the day before.

Yeah, I checked out Fitbit and rejected it because of the ridiculously high price. Instead, I bought a cheap mechanical step-counter that worked pretty well. I lost it on a camping trip. Nowadays, I try to walk 4 miles which is about 8000 steps. Not a precise count, but close enough.What are you using to count your steps? I bought a Fit Bit in to start using in 2016. It had the rubber wrist band like a watch, but it fell apart after a year. $150 down the tubes. I refuse to buy another.
A friend of ours visited and she used a low tech gizmo to count her steps. The counter seemed a little off---too many steps per mile---but she's lost 20+ pounds, so she's doing something right (Weight Watchers). Maybe Helix will tell us what sort of device he utilizes.I know you can use an Iphone to count steps but I don't want to run with it. Shaking it up like that seems dangerous to the phone.

Today, 50 minutes, without stopping and I got 4 miles in! My best ever 50 minutes. My goal with this run is not speed, but time without stopping. I baby myself to make sure I get in all 50, but I've been cranking it up a bit to see if I could get to 4 miles. Goal met!

Congrats on the personal best.
Just curious...what type of surface do you run on.....concrete, grass, HS/College track?
This may disappoint you, I run on a treadmill. It's the only way I can consistently exercise due to my schedule, the weather and my rural location. In the summer, with time permitting, I run outdoors.
Just finished my 1am 3-30 run. Scared the bejesus out of my housekeeper. It seemed she woke up to some noise in the middle of the night and thought there was an intruder in the house and ended up bumping into me in the dark- she nearly woke up the whole house lol. I couldnt stop laughing. :lol:
I use a treadmill too. I live out in the tropics, and the heat is way too much if I do this outdoors. I gotta turn the AC on and a high powered vent fan just to keep myself from fainting. Plus my trusty towel is right on the handlebars because I hate it when sweat runs down my face lol

23,079 steps. that's close to my workday record.
