Day 23 - between P90X rounds

Week 4, Day 2

Workout:
Trail Running (3 miles)

(I forgot to look at my watch so I could time it. And, since I was running a total calorie-burn count today, I don't have any of these numbers ... but I'm sure they are about the same as they usually are. Most of the time, I noticed my HR was around 173/174. My time coming down the hill [half-way] was 21 minutes.)

Sit-up/Crunch total for today: 0

When I got up today, I put on my workout gear, and started my HRM. By the time I started my run with my friends, I'd already burned 300 calories (about 2 1/2 hours). After the run, I was at about 800. And, I've been burning ever since.

As of right now (4:15), I've burned 2063 in 9 hours, 30 minutes. I'd like to wear it for at least 12 hours (it's digging into my side, so I don't know if I'll be able to stay with it until bedtime, or until I wake up in the morning) ... though 24 would be cool!!

I did notice that when I first woke up (and now, I'm back to that point), every 20 minutes, I'm burning 50 calories, just sitting. (This morning I was drinking coffee & playing solitaire on my PDA ... this afternoon, sitting here, typing on the computer.)

The run this morning was good. I didn't time it because I forgot to look at the time on my HRM, and it was already going. I did time the return trip (because I time my rest/stretch at the top for 60 seconds & then get going again). I think I was probably pretty close to where I have been running, time-wise. I think next week we're going to add an additional quarter-mile or so to our run.

I've done pretty good with my eating today. I was pretty hungry when I got home, but I didn't want to stop, for fear that I'd eat something bad!

I've planned out my exercise plan for the next month, now. I am going to do 4 weeks of Turbo Jam, plus my weekly trail-running. During the first week, when I'm learning the moves, I may add some additional running, or P90/P90X stuff, because I fear I won't be able to get my HR up for the burn while learning TJ. I am beginning TJ tomorrow.

***

HRM update: I pulled off the the HRM @ about 11pm ... just over 16 hours, 3308 calories burned. Then, there was the 7+ hours of sleeping that I didn't wear it. That works out about right (from the estimated calculation figures) since I usually burn almost 500 calories running.

Goals:
  1. TJ: Learn & Burn
  2. supplemental exercise to complete hour
  3. Drink 6 bottles of water.
  4. Write down everything I eat.
  5. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
