January Stats:

Total Steps: 531,694
Average Daily: 17,151
Approx. Miles: 258
Miles Bicycling: 15

I'm quite happy with my January results... 16 aerobic workouts in 31 days plus plenty of walking. My streak of getting at least 10K steps in is up to 291 consecutive days. At this point I may as well see if I can stretch that to a year. Anyway - here are the details of my 5K run at the Y last night:

Mile 1 pace: 11:13 min/mile
Mile 2 pace: 10:08 min/mile
Mile 3 pace: 9:05 min/mile
.1 mile "sprint" to the finish: 6:50 min/mile
Total time: 31:07
Overall average pace: 10:02

I was still stuffed from dinner when I started so I didn't really feel like going all out at the start. But before long I feeling pretty good and picked up some steam. I think that I might have cracked 30 minutes last night had I pushed the pace from the start.

The plan for February is to work a little harder in my 10K prep. Longer runs, outdoor runs, work in more hills, a day or two of HIIT (sprints), and more fasted workouts. Yep - time to get a little OCD if I want to insure a sub 60 minute 10K. On the diet front I'll be experimenting with a near zero carb plan this month... meat, eggs, and dairy. I'll try to work in plenty of IFs, too. I want weight loss while working out harder. I have not had much success with that combination eating my standard LC diet. Time to mix things up.
