Total Mileage - 15 miles
Weight - 216.0
Body Fat Percentage - 20%
I turned 31 on Friday (thankfully a day off from running) and to celebrate today I ran 6 miles. That was 2 more than I was supposed to; but I got going and my legs were feeling pretty good, my heart rate was not near the max so I figured that I'd go for it. I am pretty confident that I ran further than 6 miles (stupid foot pod, I definitely need to re-calibrate it) but I am not at the point where I am springing for a Garmin with GPS. I only had one mile over 12 minutes (12:04 and that was mile four) and finished pretty strong. I know that I need to be careful and not break too far from the training program, but it felt fantastic to just get out and go. Thankfully without a stroller this time, there is no way I would have been able to go that far pushing extra weight.
On a side note, I am down 8.5 lbs and have dropped about 4.5% body fat in the first month. I know that those numbers are going to be hard to duplicate in the next month, but lets go for it. Like the title says: Why the Hell Not?
