Well, tonight I added a little more mileage to my 2012 treadmill total. I ran 3.11 miles on a startrac treadmill at the Island’s Ymca. I really like those treadmills. They are super nice. The run tonight was tough. I started off slow but after a few minutes I began to crank the speed upwards every few minutes until I was running 8.5 mph. That is a fast speed for me on a treadmill.
I ran with my heart rate monitor and continually glanced at my bpm. On average, I would say my bpm was 155. The highest I saw my bpm was 160 and that was making my stomach feel a little upset. So, I dropped back down (by slowing down) to 152-153. At the mid-fifties I was huffing and puffing but I did not feel like my stomach was going to erupt. I had a good workout.
Speaking of workout, I started off at the Y by doing bench press, dumbell curls, kickbacks, rows and leg extensions before jumping on the treadmill. I felt good and strong through-out the weight-lifting and the run as well. And, before hitting the gym this evening, Mr. Gypsy and I walked 1.9 miles.
It was a good day today.
this is a great song and Willie's rendition of it is quite awesome.
I ran with music again. So, here goes the music inventory…

Finally, my pinky toe broke through my vff.
Oh, I forgot to mention, today as I was lifting weights I noticed that my pinky toe on my right foot had pushed through the inside fabric of my red vff. Yeah, that’s right. My red bikilas are literally falling apart. I do hope they have another 11 miles in them. That’s right. Eleven miles from now my red bikilas will have logged 700 miles! Yeah. That’s like a record…for me…it will be, I mean.
- run log
- total miles on red bikilas: 689.13
- total real miles for 2012: 52.66
- total treadmill miles for 2012: 15.83
Well, tomorrow I’m back to an outdoor run…probably, in my neighborhood. I doubt it will be the eleven miles needed for reaching 700 but it will get me a few miles closer. I will retire my red bikilas after this weekend. I’m pretty sure that these vff’s do not have another hundred miles. So, no need to press my luck and injure myself.
Thank you so very much for stopping by.
I wish you and yours the very best.
peace,
