Wow that lazy bug is hard to shake! I did not run this morning at 5:00 AM... and after getting up to get going I knew I was going to regret it! Sure enough I did... thinking that my mileage this week is definitely going to suffer and after such a great start.
After not running yesterday it should have been a priority but I did not. Ok so my schedule is a little open so I head to the gym a little early... hopped on a treadmill and started booking it... planned on going 6 miles but actually got in about 9.1 miles! I was happy about that thinking it would not get me to my planned goal of approx. 13 per day but it was an improvement on yesterday :-) So after my run my weight lifting partner Jake comes in and we go to do a pretty decent chest work out! Towards the end Jake says... I am going for a 35 min. run on the treadmill... are you up for it..... Hey you know me.. I can't turn down a challenge so I find myself back on the treadmill really booking it this time! Jake is a pretty decent runner and pushes me pretty good... I got in another 3 miles in about a 7.45 min. per mile pace (including the warm up) and then slowed the pace down for the last mile. In the end I think I got in 4 miles at about an 8.35 min. per mile pace. I was not too disappointed with that!
Still feeling pretty good... if the temperature does not get too bad, I may try to get in 2-3 miles tonight? Nothing big, just something to help me feel better about getting over the lazy bug!! :-)
