Following work I went for a run around the International Center. I ended up doing a figure eight type of a loop around the business park for total of 6.4 miles. This was still at an easy pace, but it was my best training run since pulling my left hamstring; that is, a pace of 8:09 minutes per mile. I have been patiently (at least I have been trying to be patient) increasing my pace over the past few weeks from the 10s to the low-8s. Hopefully next week I will be knocking out a pace in the 7s. Also, I have been off the elliptical machine for over two weeks (i.e., one month ago, I could not run off of the elliptical)!
In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 60 (50 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
