April edition "Running Total"thread. Log your running/jogging/walking miles here!
This will be a a trial to see if there is enough interest in a monthly tread, but we'll see how it go's. The purpose is to log all your running, jogging, walking or any other thing like elliptical mileage here. Also, any general questions that someone might have about the above activities could be addressed. So get those shoes on and hit the road running.

Rocking the roads of Bama
I'm in. Been off the bike for two years due to work, etc. Gained 20 lbs, when I really couldn't afford to gain any weight, so now I am job searching and hoping for that perfect job that let's me stay on my bike.
Today first ride, 9 miles. Butt not as sore as I expected, but lungs were not great, and my legs felt it a bit. Goal for this month isn't great, but hoping I can do more than 100 miles this month.

Will give it a try,
just got back from park, did 3 120yd runs on the soccer field, total distance 360yds running and 360+ yds walking. Faster than last week.
I keep track of hiking time but distance would be tough. Is tracking time here suitable?

I just ran my first ever race yesterday, a 10k and finished in 67:48
I was happy. Actually very happy for me...that's much better than I expected.

I am going to try this because when traveling running is easier to figure out than biking, but I've run very little so I am going to do a run/walk thing based on time rather than distance. I'll see what I can report. My goal is to run/walk 20 to 30 minutes a day three days a week.
EDIT:
April 2: 1/2 hour brisk walk/run, alternating 90 seconds to three minutes.

Ran somewhere between 3 and 3.3 miles last night. Run Keeper is notoriously inaccurate and gmap straightens things out so the true distance is in between those two numbers. I usually track my miles in run keeper, but there's also daily mile and other sites to track mileage, time, pace, elevation, etc.

Great thread, more suitable to me.
1/4: 4 miles (Football)
2/4: 1 mile (Cricket sprint drills)
Total: 5 miles
I can't do long distance running due to my hips, so all of my running distance comes from short sprints at football or cricket.

Finely, a break in the weather, so I went out on the road tonight. Ended up with 5.4 miles in just short of 45 minutes. Total to date for the month, 10.8 miles.

Morning walk report
Pre-sunrise walk 6:30am return
Total walk time 39:15 HR 68min
2.5 mile course time 37:01 Pace 14.8 min/mile HR 95avg 80min 101max
Course conditions: 37F, wind light, clear sky, 1 truck with some stinking bright lights, and some dude running a 4 minute mile on my course. Or maybe I was on his course, may need a ruling on this.
Legs felt good on walk which was good. Last nights group ride was a bit tough, spent 90 minutes at an average HR of 87%max. May not make it to my 55th birthday this summer at this rate.
