Fun Facts from Garmin, New Year’s Committments

I was poking around on the Garmin connect website a few days ago and found some cool stuff on the “Analyze” tab.

On the drop down menu there is a “reports” tab. You can look at your numbers for the past 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, this week etc. They also let you look at your numbers over the last 365 days, Last Year and This Year. I checked these options out and it was pretty amusing.

Fun Facts from Garmin over the past year

Logged 136 Activities

Run 1,716.37 miles

Run for 145 hours, 5 minutes and 6 seconds

I have burned 99,427 calories

That last one blew my mind – 99,427 calories! And I’m pretty sure I missed a few runs when I forgot my watch or it wasn’t working.

With 136 activities over the past 365 days I have only been running about 2.5 days each week. It seems like I have been running more often than that, but there were weeks when I was hurt, sick, traveling, or lazy!

As a goal for 2013 I will run 156 times or three times each week. This is my pre-New Year’s resolution. But, resolutions are for cupcakes. This is my COMMITMENT. I WILL do this.

Run well my friends

    You’ve cheered me up – I’m also at 2.5 days a week over the last 30 weeks (how long I’ve had my Garmin) and 26.5k calories – means I’m not quite as naff as I thought.

    Good luck with your commitment

      It’s a challenge just to do 2.5 days on average. The calory burn is pretty amazing, now if I could only eat LESS!
