Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
7.50	0.00	0.00	0.00	7.50

Walked to work today and found a bit of a shortcut that gets me off of 9th East and onto less busy roads.

The plan is to run 2 miles at lunch, walk home, run to and from the gym.

Later - walked home from work. Took a detour along the way and stopped by a swimwear shop and bought a water running belt.

I ran for 45 minutes in the pool and was wiped out and then swam for 15 minutes. I am not sure of how pool running converts to real running - so am assigning myself 3 miles for that portion.

I think MichelleL counts 12 min per mile, if I remember correctly. She water jogs on fridays if you want to check out how she has counted it on the past.

Excellent work out! How was the knee after sat?
