Fitness Log

Since I am constantly improving and getting in better shape, I will periodically change the front page stats to match my current fitness level. But Kelsey, How do we know how far you have come? Because readers, I will list my old stats here!


When I started this project:
I can run for 30 minutes, but it's rough.
I run about a 12 minute mile.
I have to use my inhaler before, during and after my run.


By April 2010:
I could run about 8 miles.
I could run a 10:30 minute mile.
Still using my inhaler.
 
Monday: Cross-train (usually cycling) or rest day
Tuesday: thirty minute run and strength training
Wednesday: Fartlek/hills and drills
Thursday: thirty minute run, strength training and drills
Friday: Short, low intensity run and a lot of post-run stretching
Saturday: Long Run
Sunday: Rest Day

Until September 2010:
I was doing 20-25 mile weeks
I could run a 9:30-10:00 minute mile.
My lungs felt good, but my asthma still acted up from time to time
I was having some knee pain
Getting ready to start training in September
And then my knee pain became unbearable
