So I'm trying this new thing when running at the gym. Instead of the usual intervals based on time or distance, I've been alternating my speeds with every song played on the gym's speakers. Usually the song's last about 3-5 minutes, which is just enough time for me to exhaust myself with the various speeds. Also,the 24 hr fitness by my house plays loud hip hop/rap music so I have no problem whatsoever hearing the music. I was very happy with my run today...running 4 miles in just under 37 minutes. Not bad considering that I just started running about a week ago. Let's see if I can keep up the progress and get a sub 4 hour 30 minute PR for the Pasadena Marathon in May 2012.
I've also decided to track my weight and body measurements to further monitor my fitness progress. In all honesty, I really don't care how much I weigh. My main concern is how I feel and look in my clothes and there is no better gauge of that than body measurements.
As of 10/30/11
Weight: 140.4 lbs
Bust: 33.75 in
Chest: 31 in
Waist: 29.5 in
Abdomen (right at navel): 32.5 in
Hip: 37.5 in
Thigh: 22 in
Calf: 16 in
Upper Arm: 11 in
Measurements were taken at the thickest point for hips, thigh, calf, arm and at the smallest point for waist.
