Mileage Report

Walked 3.0 miles in Pocatello. It was a nice night, with very little wind. 

Lifted chest and back before I jogged 3 miles on the ISU treadmill in my new Asics shoes.

Chest:

5 sets of 12-20 reps on the seated bench press cable machine.  I alternated grip position.

3 sets of 10-15 reps on the seated incline bench press cable machine (in corner). 

Back:

3-4 sets of 12-20 reps of cable pull-downs with the pull-up bar attachment going in front of my head. Something felt "tweaked" in my front left shoulder during all sets. I may have injured my shoulder playing with my parent's dog over the weekend. 

2-3 sets of 12-15 reps on the seated row cable machine near the pull up station.

Abs: 

2 sets of sit-ups on the incline machine

1 set of roman chair leg lifts

1 set of crunches on the ab machine (in corner) 

Jogging:

Increased rate from 5.6 at beginning of run, up to 7.0 on my last lap.  I used my new Asics shoes and the run felt very good. I think the shoes make a big difference.  I probably could have gone 4 or 5 miles at a slightly slower pace without much more difficulty. 

Ran 6 miles in 60 minutes on the ISU treadmill in my new Asics shoes. Most of my run was at a pace of 6.0 - 6.2, although I did increase the rate to 6.4 for about 0.5 miles, before I noticed some very slight tenderness in first only my left calf then only my right calf (they alternated, which was very weird), which subsided and mostly disappeared from mile 3 to the end of the run at mile 6. At the 5 mile mark I noticed some very slight tenderness in both of my knees until the end of the run.

It should also be noted that I had to stop after 30 minutes for about 30 seconds to restart the treadmill because they are programmed to automatically shut down after 30 minutes. Overall, I felt okay, but not great. I really do like these shoes, and think that they make a substantial difference versus my old New Balance and old Asics running shoes.
