Looks like posting the 2011 goals have been useful as I’ve hit the gym more often than not as of late. Recording stats is also probably helping. It must be the RPG nerd in me.
So today’s run has been the longest run in the VFF’s so far. Ran a 10k split at 2 paces. First 5k@10 min/mile and 2nd 5k@~9 min/mile. I say approx because I tried to push a faster pace and then ended up having to slow it down a bit. So I just did the math and found it averaged to just about 9. To protect the rubbing areas I turned to bandaids which actually worked really really well. Unfortunately I think I’m feeling what may be a new callous forming around the ball of my feet. Maybe this is just part of what’s needed to push distance in the VFFs?
Finally, the Bio Impedance fat meter came today. After trying it a few times I think I can get pretty wild readings. So I think in the interest of keeping things consistent I’m going with an average right after waking and an average right before bed. More than anything I’ll be tracking the trend over time since the actual % can vary depending when you use it, how hydrated you are, and even how you hold it.
