Five miles
I decided to run down on the trail today. Its not in terrible shape, considering the flooding, but parts of it are pretty bad and will be needing some TLC. That makes me glad that I’m doing what I can, by Racing for the Trail to try to raise money for improvements. But that’s neither here nor there. I set out to do seven miles today, but about 4 miles into the run my left achilles started aching just a trifle, so I cut it short. It was getting much more of a workout on the trail at night than on a brightly lit treadmill, that’s for sure. Anyway, I ended up with 4.95 miles at an 8:48 average pace.
I haven’t done the elliptical at all this week - a combination of being busy at work and sick of it from last week. No spin class tomorrow either. Next week my goal is to follow my core schedule faithfully though. Oh - and I went bowling last night. Does that count at all?
Probably not, no.

Hey, sure, bowling counts! It’s cross training!
Glad you’re getting the server situation in hand. I missed visiting your blog!

I’ve seen some pretty long stretches for crosstraining but bowling may be just too far. Was there beer with the bowling?

because if there WAS beer, that might count as carb-loading, which makes bowling OK in my book.

For a 150 lb person, bowling burns 415 calories in 90 minutes. I have no idea if this figure is for “competitive” bowling or sit-on-your-ass-mostly bowling.
I’d say it counts. Most definitely.

Hey just wearing those shows in public should count for something.
