Lunch Run - 4 miles on the treadmill, then weight training. Warmed up 1/4 mile at 8:30 pace, then upped the tempo to 7:30 pace at 0.5 incline. Felt really good, and easy. At the 3 mile mark, I decided to speed up to 6:40 pace - a smidgen faster than MP, but I will count it, since I was on the treadmill. Then at the 3.5 mile mark, I decided to increase to 6 minute pace. Also felt good. Worked up a real good sweat. Afterwards, I hit the weights - today was my day to work my pecs and triceps - bench press, arm extensions, dips, plus abs. Forgot to do lower back extensions. I need to make a decision pretty soon on whether I am going to do London's run - perhaps I will just do the 5K if I don't feel like I am ready to do the 1/2 marathon. I would definitely like to participate, especially with the cause it supports. |
