February Totals

February was not too shabby, especially in comparison to January, which got off to a slow start due to my detox and all. The only disappointment is that I still haven't gotten back into swimming and biking yet, which I REALLY need to do if I plan on doing any triathlons this spring (and I DO). I've been really focused on training for the OKC Half Marathon though - in fact, I've REALLY stayed on track with my schedule this year - I've been out there in the freezing cold, snow, sleet, wind...you name it! And I'm quite proud of myself, to be perfectly honest. I'm still pretty new to running and this is the first year I've ever braved the cold. Purchased my first pair of running tights and fleece lined gloves just this season - and oh have I been putting them to use! And I've found that I actually LIKE running in the cold. I think I'm going to be dreading the heat this summer when I'm deep into training for Chicago.

Anyway, now I'm just rambling and getting waaaay off track...which I often tend to do. ;) So, without further delay, here are my February and Year-To-Date totals:

February Totals:
Running: 10 days, 46.15 miles
P90X: 6 days
Weights/Toning: 4 days
Misc Cardio (cardio that is not running, swimming, or biking, such as walking, elliptical, Just Dance, or any of the P90X cardio workouts): 9 days
Total Days of Cardio: 15 (some days had a combo or running and another form of cardio)
Total Days of Working Out: 18

Year-To-Date Totals:
Running: 15 days, 60.95 miles
P90X: 9 days
Yoga: 1 day (I really need to get back into yoga.....)
Weights/Strength Training: 8 days
Misc Cardio: 11 days
Total Days of Cardio: 22
Total Days of Work Outs: 27

Looking forward to what March will bring! Happy training, everyone! :)

Workout Updates and January Monthly Totals

First off, I haven't done "monthly totals" in forever....probably September. Geez, I suck. I also never did my yearly totals for last year either, which I still need to do for my own benefit. Sigh... And here it is, already February, and I haven't even done a 2009 recap either. I'm so behind. But for now, here are my most recent workouts, followed by my totals for January (totals kind suck considering I was detoxing half the month and therefore not working out....)

Thursday, January 21, 2010: 40 minute walk w/dogs

Friday, January 22, 2010: P90X Legs & Back

Monday, January 25, 2010: 2.6 mile run on treadmill (had to stop early due to pain in the left leg)

Saturday, January 30, 2010: 45 min on elliptical, abs, biceps, triceps, shoulders, inner & outer thighs

Sunday, January 31, 2010: 5k race (race report coming soon!)

Monday, February 1, 2010: abs, biceps, triceps

January Monthly Totals:
Running: 5 days, 14.8 miles
P90X: 3 days
Yoga: 1 day
Weights/Strength Training: 4 days
Misc Cardio: 2 days
Total Days of Cardio: 7
Total Days of Work Outs: 9

Be on the lookout for my race report from Sunday involving The Running Dork, The Running Lawyer, The Running Sri Lankan and The Running "Chicken".

August & September Totals:

I got out for a short run yesterday. I'm guessing it was right around 2.5 miles, but the batteries in my Garmin went out AGAIN - I just replaced them on Saturday before my race - what gives???? Anyway, I had some tightness/soreness in my calves and shins again...so I'm resting until at least Saturday.

Wednesday, September 30, 2009: 2.5 mi run

Also, as a side note, I've been up since 1am (blame the storm, both kids, both dogs, and husbie....one giant combination of STFU!!!!), so I can't make any promises about getting my Nations Triathlon Day 3 (Race Day!!) post up today. I'll try...but it might have to wait until tomorrow.

At any rate, I'm going to go ahead and post my August, September, and Year-To-Date totals. August started out strong, I was working out 5 and 6 days a week, sometimes twice a day. But after my longest triathlon training, I ended up fatigued and sick...so then I kind of fizzled out. September is the opposite. Started out slow (from being sick) and have slowly regained some momentum. Here are the exact stats:


August:

Running: 9 days, 32.65 miles
Biking: 7 days, 124 miles
Swimming: 4 days, 5000 meters
P90X: 10 days
Yoga: 2 days
Weight Training: 6 days
Total Days of Cardio: 16 days
Total Days of Working Out: 18


September:

Running: 7 days, 30.1 miles
Biking: 3 days, 40 miles
Swimming: 2 days, 1700 meters
Yoga: 1 day
P90X: 1 day
Total Days of Cardio: 9
Total Days of Working Out: 9


YTD Totals:

Running: 55 days, 207.35 miles
Biking: 33 days 411.15 miles
Swimming: 26 days, 23,800 meters
Weight Training: 47 days
Yoga: 26 days
P90X: 18 days
Misc Cardio: 12 days
Total Days of Cardio: 110
Total Days of Working Out: 138

Not bad, I guess...considering injury/stress fracture, surgery, and illnesses throughout the year. And after tracking everything and looking at my splits from my triathlon, I definitely know what areas I need to improve on before next season.

July (and June) Stats

Okay, I never posted my June stats since I was pretty much out of commission that month. My surgery was June 5th, so obviously I didn't do a whole lot. AND, I wasn't technically released to begin working out again until July 20th. So...these months aren't going to look the best...but here they are:

June:

Cycling: 1 day, 15 miles
Walking: 2 days, 3.8 miles
Weight Training: 5 days (2 were P90X)
P90X: 3 days
Total Days of Cardio: 5
Total Days of Work Outs: 9

July:

Cycling: 1 day, 12.5 miles
Swimming: 5 days, 3550 m
Running: 5 days, 14.6 mi
Weight Training: 2 days
P90X: 4 days
Total Days of Cardio: 9
Total Days of Work Outs: 10

YTD Totals:

Cycling: 23 days, 247.15 miles
Swimming: 20 days, 17,100 m
Running: 39 days, 144.6 miles
Weight Training: 41 days
Yoga: 23 days
P90X: 7 days
Misc Cardio: 12 days
Total Days of Cardio: 85
Total Days of Work Outs: 111

Just a little side note: July was my best month of swimming so far this year! I'm pretty pleased with swimming 5 times...so I'm gonna try to keep that streak going. Obviously, looking at these figures, it is very clear to me that I need to get on my BIKE, stat! Good think I have a bike/run scheduled for tonight.

Here's looking forward to a great July! :)

May Stats

Well, due to injury and not being able to run for the past 3 weeks, my stats for May are not that great (sigh). I took an ENTIRE week off from working out completely, so it's not surprising that my figures aren't the best for the month of May. And sadly, they will be even more pathetic for June since I'll be having surgery on Friday and will be pretty much laid up for the entire month. BUT, I am proud to report that I had the best month of swimming so far this year - at least I have a PR in there somewhere, lol! And what's funny is the fact that I only swam 4 days of the month, but in those 4 day I just happened to put in more laps than normal. Plus I did that bad ass open water swim over Memorial Day weekend, so at least I have a little bit to be proud of.

Anyway, here's my totals for May:

Cycling: 5 days, 51.1 miles
Swimming: 4 days, 4650 m
Running: 4 days, 15.1 miles
Weight Training: 7 days
Yoga: 1 day (I need to find another place that offers yoga since I no longer have it at work....)
Misc Cardio (I just added this for elliptical, walking, stair stepper, etc since I will be having more of these days due to injury/being unable to run): 3 days
Total Days of Cardio: 13
Total Days of Work Outs: 15

And now, Year-To-Date Totals:

Cycling: 21 days, 219.65 miles
Swimming: 15 days, 13,550 m
Running: 34 days, 130 miles
Weight Training: 34 days
Yoga: 23 days
Misc Cardio: 10 days
Total Days of Cardio: 71
Total Days of Work Outs: 92

Happy training to everyone and HAPPY JUNE - welcome to summer!!! :)

April Totals

First, let me say that my totals for this month are pretty skewed: HEAVY on the running, super low on swimming, average on biking. With my HM training, running got more attention than swimming and cyling, but hopefully it will be more even in May. Anyway, here they are:

Cycling: 6 days, 65.05 miles
Swimming: 3 days, 2600m
Running: 9 days, 49.5 miles
Weight Training: 6 days
Yoga: 6 days
(I also had a day on the elliptical and 2 days of walking, but I'm not counting those miles anywhere)
Total days of Cardio: 16
Total days of Working Out: 19

And now, the Year-to-Date Totals:

Cycling: 16 days, 168.15 miles
Swimming: 11 days, 8900m
Running: 30 days, 114.9 miles
Weight Training: 27 days
Yoga: 22 days
Total days of Cardio: 58
Total days of Working Out: 77

March Totals

Cycle: 6 days of cycling, 73.6 miles total
Run: 7 days of running, 35.15 miles total
Swim: 4 days of swimming, 2 miles total
Weight Training: 7 days
Yoga: 7 days
Total days of cardio: 17
Total days worked out: 21

Not bad, considering I was recovering from a car wreck the first week of the month and I also struggled with bronchitis at the end of the month.

Here are my YTD totals:

Cycle: 10 days of cycling, 103.1 miles total
Run: 21 days of running, 65.4 miles total
Swim: 8 days of swimming, 3.9375 miles total
Weight Training: 21 days
Yoga: 16 days
Total days of cardio: 42
Total days worked out: 58

It's amazing to me to look back at January and see where I was only running a mile or a mile and a half. Now look at me - I'm running 10 miles on Friday and a half marathon in just over 2 weeks from now. What a great sense of accomplishment. :)

By the way, welcome all my new followers and THANK YOU to everyone for such positive and encouraging comments. You guys truly make my day!!!

January Totals

First off, I didn't blog all last week.... I was sick and the only day I worked out was Monday. Then I finally went and ran on Saturday. So here are those days really quickly:

Monday, January 26, 2009: 45 minute yoga class

Saturday, January 31, 2009: 1.5 mile run outside - windy

So now, here are my totals for the month:

Total days worked out: 18
Total days of cardio: 13
**9 days of running (roughly 16.7 miles logged)
**1 day of cycling
**4 days of elliptical
(There was a day that I ran AND did the elliptical, which is why the numbers total 14 days, instead of 13)
Total days of yoga: 5
Total days of weight training: 7

I have to admit, 18 days is a lot better than I thought I did, especially considering that I was sick for a week. Hopefully February will be even better! I will get started logging the Feb workouts soon. :)
