"Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up." — Dean Karnazes

(BTW, his book Ultramarathon Man is an entertaining read; I listened to the audiobook version this winter while running, and let me tell you, listening to him talk about running in the Antarctic kept me from wimping out from a 10-miler in the snow.)

So, runners! How was your week? What are your plans for the upcoming week? Are you meeting your goals? Do you have any new goals?

Ran/walked 4K today in 4/1 intervals in exactly 25 mins = 6:15 min/km av. pace, which I'm very pleased with after suffering a set-back in the form of a nasty cold two weeks ago.

Apart from the 1+ week my cold was too nasty to run with, I've been good about running at least 3 times a week.

Currently I'm smitten with my OpenOffice spreadsheet showing my running distances/times/paces and projections of same, and right now running against my projections is such fun I'd be happy to do it every day, only my knee disagrees.

But I really need to not compare myself to better and more disciplined runners, because then my times are depressing :o)

Oh, I love playing with running spreadsheets and tools and toys. I admit that I am addicted to the pace/speed/heart rate/elevation data I get from my Garmin Forerunner (a cheap, old version) and upload onto my computer!

One day I shall own a proper runner's watch - right now I make do with my clunky old cellphone, but it certainly has it's limitations, e.g. for the interval timer. But I think it gives me a better idea of what I want my future watch to be able to do, so I'm not sold something I don't need/missings functions I do need.
