I keep track of all my runs. I have a Garmin that I usually wear. The Garmin tracks my runs with GPS. I also have a Fitbit activity tracker. It counts steps. I wear it most of the time. It counts both walking and running steps. This is all kept in a cloud somewhere. I get e-mails from Fitbit to give me progress. I got an e-mail this week to tell me in 2016 I walked/ran 4,234,961 steps which was 1.935 miles. It was really a little more than this because it only counts when I wear the Fitbit. Sometimes I forget to charge the Fitbit and/or Garmin so my runs aren't all counted. Then I have my old fashioned notebook where I write the date of my run, how far it was, what shoes I was wearing, and notes on the workout. Even with all the technology, my notebook is my official record.
Today I ran a 3.5 mile easy run.
In the evening if I want a snack I usually have an apple or an orange. However, today is National Popcorn Day so we had popcorn for a snack. I had to look up whether there is a National Running Day. There is! It is June 5.
