Today was day one of my.....retraining ha, I haven't ran since november so I knew this would be hard, I wasn't even sure how far I would go. Luckily I have someone to train with me (John Coles). Woke up this morning pretty anxious this morning then looked outside :( After a little self argument on whether to run or not, there was a little rain and looked very cold, we decided to run. John is in much better shape than I am hopefully I didn't slow him down too much. I was actually a little surprised at how I did, don't get me wrong it was super slow but...suprising. Ended up running 6.3 miles, mile splits were as follow; 7:09, 7:01, 6:42, 9:02, 7:45, 7:26, 2:29 for an overall time of 47:34 which is a 7:33 mile pace average. Our fourth mile was pretty slow because I had to ask John to slow down and we had a hill during this mile. No excuse just saying ha. Then later tonight went to the gym with my cousin to lift (Chest, Triceps, Abs)- I have been lifting with him for about a month now every monday wednesday and friday. I think this will definitetly help in the long run. Theres no pun there either ha. After lifting we did a little cardio cool down, I just ran how I felt for 10mins and got a 1.33 miles, after I felt really good, haven't felt like this at all after lifting, I really believe its because I started running this morning, Oh I also threw the challenge down to my bro who is a frosh at Bingham and running some awesome times, he is in much better shape than I am, but i think I can take him at the SLC 5k in May before I leave on my mish! |
