Well I didn't get my miles in yesterday since I played tennis. Hmmm I may wear the garmin next time just to see how much I actually move on the court. That might be weird huh?

2.53 tonight

I think it's a great idea. Curious minds want to know! (that's a midwife line....)

There is a guy on my running board who keeps wanting someone to wear the garmin while running laps on a moving cruise ship just to see what the route would look like.

Garmin wont be very accurate on something like tennis. It is actually not that good even on a track, the rapid direction changes and stationary times dont work well for it. I left my garmin running attached to my stroller once and it "moved" about a mile in an hour and a half.

I used to take equivalent miles for something like tennis by exertion - does it feel like a fast run over all, a medium run, and then just saying ok 1 hour = 4 miles or something like that (I suck at tennis, for me it would be more like 1 hour = 1 mile).

Let's see -- ran a 5K on Saturday (26:49, not too shabby) and 12 miler on Sunday. That brings me to right about 135 miles so far.

Ha! I'm cracking up picturing the route the Garmin would show on a cruise ship. I wouldn't use it for any real accuracy purposes- just to satisfy my curiosity. I once wore it around the house cleaning up. It spazzed a little but did register about 1/2 a mile.

Got in 2.62 last night. I'm getting bored with the routes around my house.

+1.65 elliptical yesterday. I can't run for two more weeks, only walking... It is making me a little crazy. I haven't gone to the park yet to walk because I'm afraid I'll be too tempted to run or jog, so I've been sticking to the elliptical...

Fat Chick B Gone · 02-11-2009, 08:26 PM

1.91 miles today

grrr I'm ready for our "busy season" to be over with so I can work on increasing my distance

78/1000 Miles

3.25 TM miles for me. My ankles have been really sore since sunday, I think it was all the hills.

MaryEllen · 02-12-2009, 12:30 AM

+ 9 today, 2 on the elliptical and 7 on the bike. 72.5 total.

urockmom · 02-12-2009, 10:29 AM

3.2 rainy miles today. mini-goal to get above 100 miles before the end of next week.

Shannon in ATL · 02-12-2009, 10:34 AM

+13 bike miles yesterday, and going to change my year goal today. I was up to 12-15 running miles per week before surgery plus occasional bike miles and I'm determined to get there again after my release. The goal being higher will give me something to push for!
