I have made some modifications to the Local Loops Contribute section to accommodate "Private Training Logs" and a growing number of Contributed Loops, Times, Groups, and Group Times. I have added the ability to designate a loop or Time as "Private" and the ability to view your your training logs (private, public, individual, and group) in total by calendar month.

More Local Loops and Training Logs changes to come, its a work in progress, but I think it will really help with tracking your exercise habits.

Enjoy.

I really like being able to have private loops. That way I can have all my loops that I do in the morning without cluttering up everything else. The calendar is great also, but it would be nice to have the distance along with the time for each ride. Using it as a personal log, I am more concerned with mileage for most of the rides rather than time.

I have added multiple sports to the Local Loops section to accommodate the use of Local Loops as a Private Training Log. Please let me know if there is a sport you frequently include in your own Exercise/Training Log that is not on the list and I will see about adding it. Even better, design your own sport icon for the new sport 26 pixels x 26 pixels with the green border and light green background (I can give you the specific colors) and guarantee your new sports addition to Local Loops.

Comments on the new Local Loops Personal Training Log enhancement would be appreciated (i.e. what do you like, what don't you like, is there something you'd like to see... etc).

Now you can:
- add a time independent of a Loop,
- I added the following form fields to the "Add Time" page:
* "Select a Sport / Activity",
* "Time Distance & Distance Units",
* "Select an Effort Level",
* "Time Status (Private or Public)",
- I made some of the form fields optional,
- you can now click on a sport icon in the Training Log to view/edit/delete it,
- and I have modified some backend stuff to help eliminate possible errors.

This is getting to be pretty sweet. Pretty much eliminates any need for XL spreadsheets. You could probably also make AVG heart rate an optional field.

I added a Local Loops only UserList. It contains interesting stats on who has posted and how many times.

I aslo added Loop Distance & average pace/speed to the public Times page and to the times pages in Contribute.

Also added Cumulative Time stats for year, month, and week to the bottom of each Training log page.

I think this update has just about come to an end.

One last addition. I have added 3 more optional fields to the Individual times: Heart Rate Min, Ave, and Max.
