Does Cabo have the what happens there stays there rule, <b>Gov</b>?<br><br>
I'm liking this weather too now, <b>Jen</b>, although I hit snooze 8 times before finally rolling out of bed today. It sure is nice when in summer you can have a window open and be comfortable under a light blanket.

Sometimes it seems like my daily life is a grind of data accumulation in particular due to the need to control my blood sugars. But using the 5Ks I've done so far since returning to running on April 21st, here's how I've progressed with estimated VO2max:<br><br>
* May 5th, 37:35, VO2Max: 23.4<br>
* May 20th, 35:37, VO2Max: 25<br>
* June 16th, 34:28, VO2Max: 26.1<br>
* July 4th, 32:00, VO2Max: 28.5<br>
* July 21st, 29:35, VO2Max: 31.3<br><br>
So that’s about a 30% improvement in my ability to take in oxygen and use it in about 2.5 months. That’s fairly significant improvement which has happened over 115.5 miles and 23 hours 56 minutes. I suppose it also goes to show how bad I was aerobically to start out, but I’ve made the commitment to getting better and now we can see a lot of progress.

Here's one: <a href="http://runningahead.com/tools/calculators/vo2max" target="_blank">http://runningahead.com/tools/calculators/vo2max</a><br><br>
Or you can also look it up in the tables in Jack Daniels' Running Formula book. Of course, for a while, with me taking over 30 minutes to complete 5Ks, I wasn't in the tables.<br><br>
The only real way to get it measured would be to go to a lab where they could actually collect breathing samples. Here's a description of that: <a href="http://runtrails.blogspot.com/2007/02/my-vo2-max-test-results.html" target="_blank">http://runtrails.blogspot.com/2007/0...t-results.html</a>
