ran a tempo run after 6 minute warm-up. on track at Charles Wright.
4800 meters: 8:00/ 8:02/7:58 (1200 in 6:07 then last 400 in 1:51)
Intent was to do 3.5 miles but ran out of steam.
quite tired at the end of this work-out....weather of the last few weeks has affected my fitness. elbow tendonitis seems to have resolved. will slowly try to add back pushups. arms are really sore today. | | Add Comment |

44 minutes on the bike. I generally stop at 40 minutes but I was reading and lost track of time.
my left lower calf is really tight. I may end up skipping the run tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

ran 9 x 2 min fartleks. I probably need to get back on the track for some speed work as it seems like it is taking longer to get the same distance run doing fartleks. | | Add Comment |
