LUNCH

I had the Monday morning blues this morning so I turned off the alarm clock and rolled over and went back to sleep.  So I could still get my 2 workouts in today, I snuck out during lunch for a quick 30 mins on the elliptical at the gym.  Tonight I hope to get in some marathon pace miles.

EVENING

It was cold (in the 50s) and raning outside so I went to the gym.  Set the treadmill at 1% incline did a 1 mile warmup at 7.5 (8:00).  Then I set it at marathon pace, 8.8 (6:49) and ran 9 miles.  1:01:21.  It felt easy.  I'm thinking about trying to re-adjust my marathon pace to 9.0 (6:40).  That would get me to the end in 2:55 instead of 2:59.

MORNING

I was feeling realy good this morning after my marathon paced run last night.  I did weight training followed by 30 min arc trainer.  Wish I had more time to workout this morning.  I had lots of energy.  I really showed some improvement in my pullups today as well!

EVENING

It was beautiful out last night so I headed out for a recovery run.  4.4 miles, 8:21 pace

MORNING

It was not beautiful out this morning--raining, but I didn't wimp out.  I headed out into the rain for a recovery run, with last mile doing 10, 10 sec hill sprints.  6.4 miles 8:55 pace

EVENING

My legs were feeling a bit sore so I put on my exercise close, put on the "Prince Caspian" dvd I'd been wanting to watch, and watched it while I did some stretching, ab work, push ups, walking lunges, and a few other low intesity jumping exercises.  It was a pretty good movie and I still got in some exercise.

MORNING

I was too much of a wimp to get wet 2 mornings in a row so I went to the gym for 45 mins of eliptical.  Looks like we should have a real nice afternoon today and my last patient is at 3:30 today so I'm going to try and get some speed work in right after work today.

EVENING

As predicted, it was a gorgeous afternoon, sun shining and about 55 degrees with no wind. I got home a little after 4, earlier than usual, and headed out for a run. 5 min warm up 11, 2 1/2 min runs (5k pace) each followed by 2 1/2 min jog on rolling hills. Total run 8.4 miles 1 hour 7:10 pace I was amazed how good it felt today. I recovered much faster than usual between each repeat.

MORNING

Weight training followed by 30 min on ArcTrainier.

I have a hot date with my drop dead gorgeous wife tonight, so I'm going to try and sneak out around lunch time for a quick early afternoon workout to get my second workout of the day in.  I haven't missed since I started on the Monday after Thanksgiving and the goal is to do it until the 23rd of Dec.  Almost there!!!  On Satrudays I only do my long run and I don't workout on Sundays, so after today, that leaves only 2 more 2 a days.

LUNCH

30 mins on stationary bike
