1:06:28 workout length, 11.4 miles, about 10.28MPH average speed, 607.3 kcal burned, 160 bpm average heart rate, resistance level 4, right one-legged training 35 revs.
Knee was being strange again after I got up wrong today at work. I think I will be wearing my knee brace at work for a time. Sometimes I wish I could use a wheelchair for a while to save my knees. I'm up and around a lot at work and sometimes that means bending down or kneeling. Regardless, I'm just that much closer to my goals.
I realized something today. Round numbers are my enemy. I tend to push extra to make a round number and get too worn out doing that to continue the next day. I'm not going for round numbers with any of this. It's all based on round minimums, but never will match up in every way. I prefer that.
My minimums are: A one hour workout, 10 miles per hour, 600 calories. Due to the variability of pretty much everything, I will never make those match because there's no way to get my counter to show 600kcal on my display after an hour at 10MPH since the computer doesn't take resistance level into account and there are only four levels to that anyway. To add an extra bit of noise, I always one-leg train after reaching at least 600kcal.
Due to the fact that my distance varies even a little bit, I don't track round number milestones while I'm training and never will. I know whether or not I will hit a milestone during my workout, but since I calculate after the workout I don't know exactly how long I have to go until the next one. This way, my mind is off of the workout to a large extent and I find myself in the "where did the time go?" situation a lot. Timing everything to the second is no way to live.
