Every Run is a Great Run!

Treadmill speed workout. 1.5 miles warmup, then 1m, .75m, .5m, 3 x .25m intervals @ between 5:55 & 6:22 min/mi. pace. Still doing .25m rests in between intervals, mostly walking on longer intervals and slow running on shorter intervals.

This workout is getting a little easier but is still tough to get motivated about. I sure wish weather was nicer so I could run outside. Hopefully this workout will help me get my 5K times down a bit and make a 6:25-6:35 pace feel easier.

Hamstring feeling a little better today.

Cross-train: Bike/Weights/Stair

Tempo run on treadmill. 1 mile warmup then 5 miles @ 7:15-7:30 pace. I had a hard time making it to 5 miles today, getting real bored on the treadmill. I look forward to doing this workout outside for comparison.

Crosstrain day: 20min Bike, 20min Stairs

Weight-train day

Disastrous weekend. Went to bed Friday looking forward to a nice 16-miler LSD run the next day but then promptly got some nasty stomach flu and spent most of the night running to the john. Also got fever/chills and achey all-over. It was obvious by about 2am that the Saturday day run was NOT going to happen. So I spent all day Saturday pretty much laying around feeling horrible, didn't eat much and tried to sleep when I could. I've guess I should feel lucky I haven't been sick for about a year and a half and haven't had to miss a long run forever.
