Weeeee, another minute, more steps

Today I ran for 17 minutes, and it continues to get easier rather than harder! I'm tempted to run until I'm tired instead of just moving up a minute, but I think it's safer to ramp up slowly. Step meter says: 7296 steps today, 5103 of those "moderate" in 41 mins. 3.4 miles! Mileage this week, in reverse order: 4.1, 2.2, 3.4, 1.7, 2.5, 1.3, 2.0, 1.6. Steps this week, in reverse order, moderate in ( ): 7376 (5103), 4846 (2778), 7371 (4886), 3786 (1817), 5386 (2537), 2886 (511), 4431 (2312), 3491 (1637) I'm not steadily going up in distance each day, but the trend is up, and as long as I can keep taking more steps, and running more, I'm getting where I want to go. I would love to be able to run an hour without stopping, and run at least 5 miles. I've not given up my long-time dream of climbing Mount Rainier. That sucker is TALL though, and so just getting in shape is not enough. It's the first necessary step, though, and I do not want to give ...

Grrrr

Feeling like a failure. Half a run today, 25 mins, instead of my 50-minute goal. I just couldn't force myself to keep running. And tonight my thought was to make up for it by working out; didn't do that either. Yesterday my damn pedometer cheated me out of 15 mins of my run! What the hell is that about? I did run for 25 minutes, and started my day with a full ab workout, which is getting almost doable now. So progress hasn't stopped; just stalled. Whatever. Sat. July 19: 4872 (3387), 25 mins. 2.3 miles. Fri. July 18: 10575 (6479), 53 mins. 5.0 miles. Thurs. July 17: 7738 (5716), 44 mins. 3.6 miles. Wed. July 16: 8849 (4060), 33 mins. 4.1 miles. Tue. July 15: 8219 (6148), 46 mins. 3.8 miles. Mon. July 14: 7403 (3914), 32 mins. 3.5 miles. Sun. July 13: 8370 (6316), 47 mins. 3.9 miles. Sat. July 12: 10655 (7847), 60 mins. 5.0 miles. So twice this week I couldn't run my whole run, but twice this week I've done 5 miles, and over 10k steps. And for m...

A bit of a rest?

No reports for awhile. First I put my shorts in the wash with my step-meter in the pocket! Saved it by taking it apart and letting it dry, but now the time is wonky. Then I was traveling, which meant a day or so of hardly any steps, then loads (13000 the day we spent walking around Geneva), then not many on the train, and so forth. Saving grace: Haus Randa has lots of stairs, and our room was at the top! So every meal, and every cup of coffee, and every beer -- five flights down, five flights up! I never did get to run all the way to the top without stopping to catch my breath. In fact, I couldn't even walk up without catching my breath. Still, it was some exercise. (4-6000 steps per day). Little to no jetlag, so I did do some running, but not so much. Now the battery is running low, and I leave in a few days for Vienna, so it's time to report before it resets again: Thurs. 28 Aug: 2407 (1415), 11 mins. 1.1 miles. Wed. 27 Aug: 3368 (1711), 14 mins. 1.5 miles. Tue. 26 ...
