7456 steps. I walked and ran about 3.35 miles, burning a very conservative 223 calories. There was some running that I am only accounting for as walking. So this makes for a target of 2723 calories. I have consumed 2739 calories. Target met. So instead of taking a break for tomorrow, I will have a compulsion to exercise more. Maybe this will be for just a couple miles. I also can slow down and go for duration. However, I will have a problem with this, my going slower. I do need my running to go between different goals, endurance or speed.

BTW what I did find helpful is to have the watch alert me when my heart rate exceeded 720 bpm. When this happened, I tried to back off. I did not even come close to my previous record of 179 bpm. The max today was at or below 172, with only one segement of the run with a max of 174. I find that I have a need to keep pushing myself despite the possible ill effects. I also am still not in good shape. One runner on the Internet was embarrassed by his eight and a half minute mile. Amazing. I do not know if I can ever do this myself, but only in my dreams.
