Doug's Running Thingy

30 minutes of plyometrics plus 20 minutes of pushups, pull ups and dumbbell circuit.

Evening 3 miler with new Garmin 405. Confirmed that my 2.4 mile run in the neighborhood is 2.43 and that my half mile lap around the block is 0.58.  Kinda cool - will have to play with it some more. 

From Maclay Gardens trailhead, ran 2 miles of the ravine trail to start of North Loop trail - did the North Loop (0.8 mi) in 5:06 - not bad... working toward 4:30ish by end of January.  Finished up with an easy mile and a quarter back to the car.

Lovin the whole Garmin thing.  Squeezed in a little workout at lunch.  Warmed up on the ravine trail (2.25 miles) a bit faster than originally intended - 7:20 pace - then did 200, 300, 500 on the track, and finished with 4 barefoot striders and 2 laps on the infield.  Only real goal was to hit the 500 at 90 seconds - ran 1:30.8 - that'll work.

Evening dumb bell workout, plus pushups, and pull ups and dips on the boy child's new workout stand - pretty slick.

Bailed out of the office early this afternoon to put in a "long run" in the gorgeous weather - sunny and 60 degrees.  The Garmin registered 5.28 mi for the combination of ravine trail and overstreet trail that my bike computer measures at 5.4 miles.  I accept both distances as spot on since I usually ride on the right side (outer lane) of the doubletrack and take the tangents when running - very interesting.  Kept the pace right at 8 flat, which was a bit of a struggle the last mile and a half.  Its been a few weeks since I've run more than 4 miles.
