Working on week 5 of the 100 push ups program. I repeated weeks 3 and 4.
Dec. 24 - Exhaustion Test - 40 push ups
Dec. 29 - 35 max, 145 total
Dec. 31 - 40 max, 160 total

For 2009, I want to do 2,009 miles of activity. I will include the miles from walking during the work week (about 2 miles a day) and take Loki for more walks.

Harbor Half Marathon

I started the tracking a minute before crossing the start and continued tracking a minute after crossing the finish. On the flat sections I easily maintained a 11:00 min/mile or less.

Harbor Half Marathon

I did a trial run on Saturday to prepare for my race this weekend. I ran 13.24 miles in 2:26:49. I maintained an average pace of 11'06 min/mile or 5.4 mph. That pace was not too difficult to maintain. I set my BIMActive pace monitor to 11'36 min/ mile. I will keep that setting for the actual race. I might push a bit harder on the second half of the race depending on how I feel and the conditions but unless it is unusually hot and humid then I should finish in under 2 and a 1/2 hours quite easily.

The hard part will be the trip to and from Corpus Christi.

Running Log

This week I ran, walked and biked 34.37 miles, burned 4128 calories and weigh 177.7 pounds.

Monday: ran 2.82 miles in 35:00
Tuesday: walked Loki 4.46 miles in 1:31:18
Wednesday: ran 7.94 miles in 1:41:07
Thursday: biked 2.62 miles in 15:00
Saturday: ran 16:53 miles in 3:34:16

The Saturday time is an estimate. Bimactive stopped recording without me touching anything at about 14 miles and I noticed it and restarted .35 miles later. I added the times from the two saved runs plus 5 minutes to account for the .35. I mapped out the small gap to find out what distance was not recorded. I did 14.40 miles at an average pace of 12:51 and 1.78 miles at an average page of 13:29.

Bimactive also stopped recording on my Tuesday walk with Loki. About a half mile was not recorded.

My marathon is 7 weeks away.
