Short skiing session

Duration = 20:00
Distance = 1.76
Calories = 275

Wore some old sneakers for this session. No issue with either foot tonight. Blister from last week is mostly healed. One ski seems to have a bit more drag than the other. Time will tell. I hope to get back to running soon.

I expect to take my Fit-to-Fight test for the USAF on the second weekend of November. This consists of a mile-and-a-half run, crunches, push-ups, and a waist measurement. The results are compared to a chart for gender and age to get a score. 75 out of the 100 available is passing.

NordicTrack again

Duration = 30:00
Distance = 2.20
Calories = 382

Moccasins I was wearing don't protect against an irregularity in one of the skis. I have a new sore spot on the bottom of my left foot. I did manage a steady rate for the whole session.

Not always running

I expect most posts will be simple statistics from the just finished session. While not always running, they will likely be mostly cardio. I don't expect to note all the pushups and crunches done during the day except as maybe including a total. I'm still thinking about that.

Tonight was NordicTrak:
Duration = 30:00
Distance = 1.74
Calories = 351

I'm not sure exactly what the unit is for the distance. I use what is displayed at the end of the session. I assume it is miles. Calories is also read from the electronic monitor.

The tenderness turned out to be a blister. I talked with the running shop. The placement of the blister is not indicative of an incorrect size for the shoes. It is rather a new rub point due to the support these shoes are providing that I haven't had previously. I bought some BodyGlide to help in this regard and to address chafing I tend to get elsewhere.
