For the second day this week, I biked into work (32.0 miles roundtrip). I made such good time in the morning that I was able to sneak in 1.1 miles (i.e., a half-mile warm-up, a half mile at marathon pace, and a 0.1-mile cool-down) on the treadmill before reporting to work. Following work, I completed the last two miles of the speed workout that I did not finish yesterday (i.e., the slow halves at 8.7 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 10.7) in a time of 12:37. I then ran another 1.4 miles at marathon pace before stopping to put on my Vibram Five Fingers and finishing out my treadmill workout with a 2.0 mile easy pace run.
After my bike ride home, I was pretty drained, but I still managed to get in my repeat of day eleven (i.e., week 4, day 2) of the Push-up Challenge. This time, I accomplished a total of 127 push-ups over the following five sets that consisted of 25, 25, 25, 25, and 27 push-ups. Also, I was able to complete 200 sit-ups, 130 (40, 30, 16 lbs) curls, and 20 (60, 50 lbs) reverse curls. |
