<p>Fortunately, I’m back to the summer day pack. Still over prepared with rain gear, first aid, flashlights, extra socks, and a variety of shirts/windbreakers, but much lighter than winter gear.</p>
<p>Sabaray, is the streak that you run daily??? </p>
<p>RunKeeper keeps telling me that I need to set a new goal. I’m still trying to decide what that is…# of miles a week? # of minutes a week? I have a yearly goal which barring any roadblocks I should easily make and may decide to “up” the goal, but I think I do need some short term goals…</p>
<p>I’m thinking of scheduling my runs the day before now since I’m outside a lot more. Tomorrow it’s sunny in the morning and rain for the afternoon so it looks like I either run in the morning or run in the rain. I’m not averse to the latter if I can find the right gear.</p>
<p>Abasket, I’m looking at a couple of different 5Ks in July and planning to choose one. A race usually keeps me motivated. National Running Day? I just may have to get out there later on…</p>
<p>I downloaded the 5 to 10k app; completing that is my next goal other than 2 races. The streak wants you to run daily, at least a mile. So far it’s been doable.</p>
<p>Basically, on the 5 to 10k app day one of each week appears to be the standard 5 minute warmup, a “steady run” of varying length and 5 minute cooldown. Day 2 alternates a 10 minute jog with 2 minutes of fast runs and jogs twice, finishing with an 8 minute steady run (this also changes/alternates as the workout progresses to jog, tempo run, jog of varying intervals). Day three is a steady run that starts at thirty minutes and appears to add five minute increments weekly. Of course the obligatory warmup and cooldown is part of every workout. Weeks 5 and 9 are recovery/race prep weeks. It looks like the longest run is one hour.</p>
<p>The big thing I like so far (having done one whole week) is the day 2 change up in pacing. They tell you when to push harder!</p>
<p>“I will definitely be prancin’ when the going gets tough!”</p>
<p>Idad, you might want to add some Prancercise routines to you daily mix. :D</p>
<p>Ran 4 miles yesterday, then decided that I needed to do some more stuff and did my weights as well, then topped it all off with 40 feet-on-the-floor push-ups in 1 minute!</p>
<p>^^, I just drop on my office floor and tried it. 40 push ups exact in 60 second. Was trying to do 41 but can’t. The last 2 or three took 5 seconds.</p>
<p>I wonder how many pushups Ellen does in a minute. She’d probably come up with some pretty spiffy prancercise moves were she to incorporate that into her exercise routine.</p>
<p>Mile warmup. 1@7:30, 2@6:00, 2@5:00, 1@7:30 (cheating–on the alter g @70% body weight) the way I figure it —I’m 142 lbs now—if I lose 42 lbs—I could run this fast all of the time!</p>
