Do you mean ten 1/2 laps equal a mile or 10 and a half laps equal a mile? I think you meant the latter---that is a lot of laps to keep track of! Is there a higher quality high school track you could use (meaning the track is higher quality, not the high school, although higher quality high schools usually have higher quality tracks!). 4 laps = 1 mile that way.

I found a counter that goes to 9999. It's just a little clicker-type, but I love it. It's definately the latter, 10 and 1/2 laps equal a mile. I've had stopwatches with lap counters, but I have a terrible time with watches, so this will work better for me, I think.

I did 9 miles today. I'm walking though on the laps ending in 0 and 5, and then I walked every 3rd lap in the last mile.

EZ - Why didn't you go to yoga with her? That could have made for a really special date night. ;) Unless you twited yourself into a pretzel and had to spen the night at the ER, which would have been special in a whole other way.

You know Dixie I get asked that a lot! Especially from the folks at church, where she teaches 2 classes, that say "Gary, if you go I'll go"....as far as why...hummm....no comment ;) (which means I do not have one good reason why not!)

The track you have been running must be about 40% of a full size high school track then, right? Because I am with Baby Catcher on 4 laps equals 1 mile when I first saw your post.

230/1000 MILES

I took the mutts out for 3.5 this morning, we took our time and had a nice one while Angie headed off to bell choir practice.

5.2 for me. All the track talk inspired me to do some track work. It's a 400m track so quite big.

28.5 miles this week. I have my big weekly run tomorrow -- 15 miles! That should boost next week's totals a little.

3 this morning at the harbor with my girls!

233/1000 MILES

+ 5.04 miles this morning...

+11 from last week :)

Me and the goldens for 3.

236/1000 MILES

I walked about 3 miles yesterday.

4.61 yesterday, 5.54 today.

4.75 yesterday now I'm tapering. Does any have any advice about how much to run this week?

Also does anyone know anything about bikes? I'm looking to get a road style bike. Essentially something light and fast. I don't know any brands, or what size I'd be looking for.

Sunday -- +2.10 miles

Monday -- +2.10 miles

Finally the weather is getting nice, so I can walk outside. My boyfriend lives on the other end of town, so when the weather is nice I like to walk to his house.

+4.15 today - treadmill HIIT again. Going to get back into the intervals regularly, then work on increasing the mileage. It worked well that way last time! :)
