Today got up on time and got in my full 6 miles. It was about mid 20's but I was wrapped up really good so I never got cold. It is actually refreshing to breath the cold air!! For Christmas I am going to get me a watch so I can record my actual time... so far I just glance at the clock as I walk out the house and glance again when I come back in.
The 6 miles felt really good and I actually was prepairing to do 2 more but could not spare the time. I'm thinking that I may try to get in an additional 3 miles today at the gym.
Went to the doctor this morning for my 5 year physical (i.e. I only go once every 5 years). My wife.. who is a practictioner AND works at the doctors office AND set up my appointment had them do pretty much every possible test I think they are legally allowed to do! :-) It was not fun but hey... now I am good to go for another 5 YEARS!!! :-) P.S. Note for other bloggers...I only go every 5 years because my wife is a practictioner..like I tell her.. "Hey we did not pay for all of those years of college for nothing.... if I am broke, I figure you can fix me just as good as anyone else.. ha!" So I do not recommend that you take going to the doc every 5 years as sound behavior!
Breakfast: Grapefruit.. Mid morning: Coffee and orange, almonds.. protein shake...
To be continued... about to head out to the gym shortly.. will work my arms today (Tri's and Bi's).!! Stay tuned....
Update: Went to the gym and had a really good tri/bi workout, I like to work my arms although I do not want them to get too big... just enough to look like I lift weights :-). Also, I actually snuck in some sit-ups too which I am always pleased with! Ok onto the important item my run... I was able to get in 3 miles... in 25 min 31 sec. approx. an 8.5 min mile which for me was SMOKING!!! This included my warm up (approx. 0.5 mile at a 10 min mile pace). The first 1.5 miles I was questioning if I could make it but then about at the 1.65 mile point I started feeling pretty good... so I picked up the pace and pushed hard especially when I got to about 2.5 miles and knew I was going to finish!
Lunch: Grapefruit, Protein bar |
