Enjoy the Journey

Morning out and back run to BCreek. Cool, cloudy weather. I have been pretty stressed lately with family, work and calling. It felt so theraputic to just go out and blow it off and feel the pleasant feeling of a nice run. Good stuff!!

Nice TM run at the Aquatic Center while watching the Yankees play Tampa Bay. Did the interval program with Max speed of 6.5 at 1% incline and Min speed of 5.2 and flat. just for fun I ran the last interval at 7.0. Can't wait till I can do all of them at that pace!

Lifted weights. I am now able to bench 2 sets of 7 with 125 lbs. Doesn't sound like a lot but it is a heck of a more than I used to be able to do. My goal is to recapture my High School bench press max of 215 lbs.

60 min Cross Training. 40 on bike, 10 on elliptical and 10 on rower. At Aquatic center in the morning (had the day off of work). Alex was there lifting and Jared walked in just as I was finishing up. 

This was a fun, local race to benefit Habitat for Humanity. My 13 year old daughter ran with me, which made it a lot of fun. There were about 100 or so runners. They offered a 5k, 10k and 27 mile bike ride.

Not much to report, we held a good strong pace for the whole 3 miles and then kicked in for the last 0.1. My daughter pulled away from me at the end and beat me by about 100 yards.

AP= 8:49
