6 miles on an increasing tempo run on the treadmill this morning. I felt I needed shake out the slow pace of the last 4 days. 2 miles at 6min, 2 miles at 5:30, 2 miles at 5. Both legs felt like I was moments away from a little cramping in the hamstrings but overall not sore. Must be from keeping tha pace way down lately and some soft trails. Spent two hours after that teaching my son how to lift weights at the gym. He really wants to run the TOU in the Fall and I think the first step is weight lifting 3 times a week and hiking 3 days of the week. There is no PE in his school to speak of. He could not do a single pullup, could manage 2 pushups and had a really hard time with any free weights at all. In spite of that, I'll bet he will be passing me up within three months.
