Neighborhoods - 21:14

It was almost 10 pm and the motivation was low, and my back was sore too. So I jogged really slowly through the neighborhoods and called it good.

Lunchtime - 20 minutes weights at work. Bench press, lat pulldowns, medicine ball twists/obliques, squats (body weight), leg extensions, calf presses. I think I hurt my back benching - haven't done over 145 lbs in probably a couple of years. Did 165 today then buried 170 (had a spotter for a second). No reason to strain my back for that pathetic amount!

Ann Morrison Park - 34+

Really nice run on a gorgeous afternoon. Ran from the Train Depot along Crescent Rim and down around the park. Lungs feeling horrible, and I've lost my voice completely. Breathing was OK as long as I didn't try to run fast.

A.M. - Treadmill - 36:34

Early morning run on the treadmill. Lungs and sinuses are in bad shape.

P.M. - 1.5 mile warmup; 20 minutes steady; 1 mile warmdown

On the canals and in the neighborhoods. Breathing was tough and I knew I wasn't up to something heroic, so I did 20 minutes at 6:28/mile average. Good enough for today.

Cassia Park - 1:00

Nice morning run at 9 a.m. Took the canals to Cassia and did a few laps. Back home on the canals and a bit in the neighborhoods. Felt OK. Lungs still jacked up and had another bad night of sleep last night. Being sick sucks. Average pace of 7:37/mile.
