I have been running since 2009 and have always kept my stats in Excel sheets together with my other workouts. Unfortunately this year the list isn't very long :) but I keep trying and won't give up. There will come a day that I will be back a regular running/exercise.<br /><br />Nice walk you did on Monday, love it that you take photos too and give me a glimpse of your hike.

I have my bike computer that tells me how far I went, but I don't record that anywhere but in My Fitness Pal as exercise. <br /><br />That pic of you and Jeff, it looks like the soldier is poking you in the thigh.

I know I wouldn't have kept it up so consistently. I am good at journaling for a while, and then I "forget." for long periods of time. <br /><br />Fun to see the statues at the park, and remember seeing them myself. And the picture of Jeff with the statue is hilarious.debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-32400639675395634152016-07-06T07:36:16.768-05:002016-07-06T07:36:16.768-05:00Look at all those books stacked up!

I find it really helpful to keep stats like that, so you can look back and see your progress or if you were struggling with something similar - although the adjustment to the heat/humidity always seems awful. I feel like I am going through a second acclimation over here. Blah! And we have it no where as bad as you!<br /><br />That is cool that the soldiers are so detailed!<br /><br />Awesome on the 12:xx mile!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-53667622592554289372016-07-06T07:30:46.072-05:002016-07-06T07:30:46.072-05:00I've been keeping running stats since around 2...I've been keeping running stats since around 2004. My journals have varied over the years but MY OCD would never let me start a fresh journal in the middle of the year - they all run Jan.-Dec. LOL!<br /><br />That left brain while running is a PITA for sure. As I read what you wrote about the heat/humidity I was laughing because as soon as I got home from my run this morning I thought how much better it would have been if I could have gotten my brain out of the way. I said all that to say, ALL runners and all runs are a work in progress. You're doing just fine!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-41009108428719861452016-07-06T05:53:55.481-05:002016-07-06T05:53:55.481-05:00I use just a hand written book to keep track of my...I use just a hand written book to keep track of my workout stats.<br />I so admire your dedication getting out there in the heat and humidity just be careful and don't over do!

I guess I'm a little OCD when it comes to that too. Regardless, I have all my runs on my garmin connect! Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.com
