Two Long Walks October 29, 2006

Posted by vinnyt in : Exercise, fitness , add a comment

So, I’ve stuck with my exercise, and as a result I’m really sore today.   I initially believed that I should just go out and force myself to go as long as I possibly could and over time my stamina would increase.  I’ve done some research and spoke to a few people who are near experts on the subject and I believe that my initial approach would work, but it’s not going to help me with my first goal which is weight loss.  Based on what I’ve read I need to work out about about 65% of my max heartrate, which based on my age is 119 bpm.  At the moment if I run for any distance my heart rate goes way past the 119bpm so I have to slow down to maintain that level.  So before where I had planned on pushing myself by trying to runner faster daily I’ve decided to walk for a longer period of time.  Essentially I’m giving 1 hour and some change each day to my workout.  Thus far after really only about 4 good exercise days I do feel like I have more energy but like I said I’m quite sore.  I’m going to give it more time and see what somes to pass.

My First Run 8/22/2006 October 22, 2006

My First run. I took my first run today. The weather was some what cold slightly above freezing and overcast, but not raining. I set my workout goal to 1.5 miles in my iPod, and started out of the house. I got about halfway down the block, and pressed the center button on the iPod in hopes of hearing a status update. Instead I discovered that I had locked the iPod, and it was not tracking my information. I quickly unlocked it, and pressed the play button launching my workout. I then proceeded to run probably about 1/10th of a mile before I ran out of steam. I have to say I???m in pretty bad shape so I suspect that for the next few runs any progress is going to be slow. However, I???ve talked to several people regarding the subject of exercise and once I get over this initial hump I should progress pretty quickly. My goal by next summer is to be averaging about 7:00 minute miles if not less, and running about 5-10 miles on a daily basis. So we???ll have to see what happens.

Starting the Getting in shape routine October 21, 2006

I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve let myself go somewhat as a result of my dedication to work. This being said I’ve grown tired of reminiscing about the recent past when I was in shape I’ve decided to take the bull by the horns so to speak and get to myself back to previous levels of physical fitness and at some point exceed those previous marks. I started this somewhat at the beginning of the summer when I acquired a new bicycle. I was able to ride on a daily basis. At the time my rides ranged from 10-20 miles per day. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control at work I was not able to ride the bike as much as I had anticipated. So now that I continue to travel, and with the onset of winter in this area I have to find an activity that will allow me to reach my desired fitness goals and still fit in with the weather and travel scenarios that I am currently faced with. This being the case I???ve decided to start running. I ran for the duration of my time in high school, and then briefly on and off since then. I find the activity to be very closely related to my bike riding with the exception that I can more easily maintain consistency regardless of weather or state of travel. I???ve also taken some steps to ensure my success in this new endeavor. First off I???ve purchased the Nike+ system. This system integrates with your iPod acting as a very sophisticated pedometer. In addition to tracking your progress in real time the device is integrated with a sophisticated website that tracks your runs over time, and allows you to chart your progress, and see that you are truly succeeding at your goals. I feel this will be the most helpful thing to be as I pursue this goal because I will be able to see that it is truly working for me. That being the case I plan on a daily tracking of my run, and hopefully once I get back to shape I???m going to integrate my ???where???s vinnyt application??? to show the paths that I run over time.
