After my ordeal on Saturday I was not thrilled about getting back on the bike so I decided to go to the gym and run on the treadmill and work a few weights (or is that let a few weights work me?). My whole body was a little tired after the 81 miller on Saturday (go see the report...it's actually funny) and the fact that I got up a 3:30 Sunday morning, drove 3.5 hours to visit a friend, then drove 3.5 hours home. With all this said, I did run 5 miles on today!!!! Yeah!!! I hopped on the treadmill and ran for about .15 mile and realized my hip felt great. At that point I kicked the treadmill up to 7:30 pace (that's as fast as it will go) and set the incline to 1%. After the treadmill I worked wieghts on my upper body for about 30 minutes (chest, sholders, bia's and tri's). I went back to compare this treadmill run to something I have done in the past and the closest I could find was a 7 mile run at 7:40 pace (149 avg HR). So, today's run wasn't bad in comparison. I just need my hip to hold up so I can get in more miles.

Do your own work well, and then you will have something to be proud of. But don't compare yourself with others.
