8606 steps. I exercised 3.03 miles. I have burned 314 calories. This makes for a target of 2514. By the end of my day, I will have consumed 2567 calories. This is an overage of 53 calories. This is good enough for me.

At ny current burn rate, I am burning 104 calories per mile. I have burned about 80 calories per mile in the past. Ever since I started running, and recently, running more during each mile, and doing this faster, look at how ny calories burned per mile has changed. The burn rate went up from 80 calories a mile to 104 for today. This is a 25 percent difference. Nice.

Now I need to work on pacing myself for longer runs. My next goal is to run two straight miles without a stop and keep my heart rate from maxing out at 178 bpm just for the first mile alone. Not healthy.

BTW my new record for the running part is now 7.5 mph for a quarter of a mile. The distance will improve over time. Right now this will not be my focus.
