Fast Running Soldier

Great treadmill run today. I felt REALLY good. I'm not sure exactly what that was from. Maybe sleeping more last night, having a good pasta and chicken meal yesterday, or taking the weekend off. Probably a mixture of all of them I imagine.

I ran at a 8:27 pace for the most part for the whole distance and my Garmin Forerunner said I averaged a 152 BPM. That is very encouraging!

Kind of a random running day today. I did .5 mile on a track, then went to the gym and ran on the treadmill almost 2 miles, then the power went out and the treadmill stopped. It must have been a glitch because the power turned right back on, but I had to start the run over and finished with that slight break.

Hit the gym in the PM for chest day. My shoulder is not 100% and it is killing me only being able to bench press 100lbs... oh well. Slowly but surely when recovering from a surgery right?!

Played about 60 minutes of basketball today. I didn't want to chance reagrivating any injury by running.

A great run today. It was nice and cool, probably the last one of the spring/summer for us down here in Georgia. I ran good today around a .5 mile dirt track. I ended up running faster than I normally do, but I was okay with that. I hit the last .25 fairly quickly. I picked it up, not a dead sprint, but wanted to hit it harder.

7:56   7:52   7:52   7:42 (1:40 .25 mile) = 7:47 AP at an average of 169 BPM.

Went much slower today. Used the same track, just a slower pace. My legs were kind of sore from lifting yesterday and probably for running sub 8:00.

8:49   8:29   8:23   8:22 = 8:30AP at an average of 167 BPM.
