I admit, I was switching between watching LaBron and the biggest loser.  So,  come on, who is your favorite Bob.

or Jillian?

7.5 at 8:00, random inline to 1.5% (feeling fine).  As soon as I stepped up the pace to 6:58, -2.5% decline, my legs were trashed (I guess all the lunges on Monday in Strike took an effect).  So, I only did 4 miles at that pace before finishing with 2.5 easy at 8:00.  I suppose this was one of those days where being on the treadmill made it too easy to cut the run short.  However, at the same time, I didn't press myself to injury as I have in the past by ignoring the warnings of trashed legs.  

I suppose I'll just have to wait until another run to be an animal.

1 mile warm up at 8:30.

5k in 18:46.  I was very pleasantly surprised with this effort as I felt at the end that I could have gone a bit faster.  My goal, however, was to not crash and burn so I did the first 1.5 miles at 6:07 pace then sped up a bit to finish.  This was especially encouraging because I have done NO speedwork at all.  Moreover, this is a 45 second improvement over my previous best timed 5k, which was last September 6 at 19:30 (in a ward race -- lame, I know) and my 19:51 solo test on August 8.

Followed with one hour Strike class.


Ended with 4 easy miles at between 8:30 and 8:00, though last .5 was at 6:00 on a -3% decline.

Poor night of sleep.  It was difficult to get up so I slept an hour until 5:15.

7 easy at 8:30, random incline to 1.5%

1 at 6:31, 1 at 6:27, 1 at 6:18, all at -3% decline.

I felt alright at the end, but couldn't get in a longer run which I had planned.  Oh, well.
