This morning was an interesting weather day. It was -10 below zero
when I wake up to run. I kept debating if I wanted to run outside. My
wife was a little concerned, but as I kept thinking about running
outside and looking at the weather web site and trying to find my
tights, the time had past so fast that my only choice was to run downstairs on the treadmill. It would have taken me too long now to get my winter gear on and head outside to run. I ran 7.3 miles around a 6:55 pace. It was very hot downstairs so tonight I'm looking for a fan to place by the treadmill. Lunch: Ran downstairs on the home Treadmill on my lunch hour. My daughters were downstairs watching the Mary Kay and Ashley movie Switching Goals. They were both sick, and stayed home from school so I ran down there and watched the show too. I did a progressive run and started out at a 6:30 pace because I didn't have a lot of time on my lunch hour. (4.3 miles).
Mile 2: 6:09 Didn't feel that hard and the show was good. Mile 3: 6:00 Still feeling good but getting hot. I need to get a fan to blow on me. Mile 4: 5:57 The mile felt good and felt comfortable. .3 5:30 Little pickup at the end.
Evening: Went to the Gym and did some strength training with my wife. Not heavy weights light weights high repetitions to get good circuit training. I used to lift all the time before I started running and was a pretty good size.
