Ok, working from home today and that gives me the liberty to take time during the day to run. No excuses, so I decided to hit the W&OD trail for some speed.

| Total: 6 miles |
Total Time: 40:57 |
Felt beaten down after, but good overall |
Total mileage was decent and I really only pushed it really hard on two .5 mile sets. My cooldown mileage at the end of the running felt good and I was able to move pretty quickly. Overall, I feel that I needed to start doing some type of speedwork to increase my overall speed. Running at a 7:30-7:45 pace feels really good at this point, but I know I can do better in the future. Good hard running today...hitting the gym tonight to round out the day.

Went to the gym tonight and did back and bi's. I'm a little dismayed with the fact that my Pull-ups are down to only 20 from about 24 a month ago. It may be the fact that I had a good hard run earlier, but it's still bothers me. I will be sore tomorrow since I took last week off from the gym. Afterwards, came home to Pepper and we took a nice 2 mile walk/trot around the neighborhood. Besides wanting to eat a Pug, he's just a pleasure to wander with. Oh, it's also great when he's sitting on the couch next to me and being a good boy. I wonder if I need to get new shoes anytime soon...hmmmm...more money to spend.
