I have a target of now 2,896 calories. I have consumed 2,655 calories. This is about 250 calories short. I added a meatball to my spaghetti dish. So I have 350 calories to make up for yet. I will run again tomorrow. I will eat only 2400 calories tomorrow to help make up this difference.

Today my best run was during the second mile. I ran at a higher speed and paced myself really well. I was exhausted as I walked into the restaurant at the end of my run. I ran a mile in 14 minutes with an average heart rate of 160 which in itself is above my 145 to 155 range. Here I go again pushing myself allot, perhaps too much. I burned 114 net calories a mile which is allot. I hope to replicate this again tomorrow without going into tachycardia. Perhaps this time a mile in about 15 minutes. I am quickly walking up a very steep hill late in the evening.

PS There is a number on my watch called Training Effect. This tells me in one number the approximation of the actual effect of my exercise on my cardiovascular system. The value I ended up with of “3” is very good.
