Keeping me honest

You may have noticed a new Widget on the right, titled "Latest workouts". I've decided to try something. I wanted a good way to track my workouts: how I'm feeling, how they went, what I did, etc. I had seen a few people I know tracking their runs on Daily Mile and decided to check it out. It's mainly meant for tracking miles (hence the name) and I want to track workouts, but I'm going to make it work since I know people who are already using it, and so hopefully that will help with motivation.

Motivation of a ...(ahem)...different sort

My efforts are two-fold. First, I had found myself slipping a little and whenever that happens, I try to set a new workout goal to keep me motivated. This is my goal, and by posting it, it holds me accountable since everyone can now see my efforts.

Second, I am really curious about how certain factors affect my motivation, endurance, heart rate, and how I feel during the workouts. I'd still like to get a heart rate monitor and add heart rate and calories burned to the mix. If anyone has any advice or recommendations on this, let me know. The only thing I know about heart rate monitors is that I want one, which doesn't really help.

 Thanks in advance for keeping me honest and motivating me :)
