edited October 4 in Fitness and Exercise
Okay, folks-- so this is it! The month is almost over, so you've got three days to finish up your October Ironman miles as follows:
112 biking
26.2 running/ walking
2.4 swimming.

I've had several people ask if I'll do it again for November, so by popular demand, I will I start a new thread on Tuesday November 1 for the month of November. To keep things simple, I will only post the one thread for the entire month rather than starting a new thread each week--which led to some confusion.

Good luck on getting your miles in to finish out October!

    When you enter swim or bike data you can do it by your effort. When you enter run data you can only do it by your speed. What's up with that? I did a rather hilly trail run today that was amazing - and Hoo Doggies!!!, did it burn calories! - but you'll never know it by my rather pedestrian exercise entry.

    Regardless, it was a great run. Trails were muddy and difficult to gain traction, rocks hidden under every leaf, tree stumps everywhere, and endless fog. Throw in a few close friends and I gotta tell you, this was a run to remember. I can't bring myself to wash the mud off my shoes. Guess I'll have to clean them the old fashioned way - run in them another time or two.

    Still, even when the mud is gone, this was one of those days that the numbers will never tell the story of joy of the event.

    To date:
    Swim: 0M
    Bike: 32.61M
    Run: 6.46M
