I didn’t do any weights yesterday, but I did go on a beautiful hike to get some activity. Instead, I decided to do a quick bit of strength this morning post run. I find lifting to be the hardest thing to fit in when I am running a lot. But my goal is twice a week, and I intend to stick with that!
This morning my legs felt fresh and weren’t sore, besides my constantly sore left foot, my body felt really good. I didn’t get much sleep last night with everything going on, and I was a bit sleepy on my run, but I woke up a few minutes before 6, a sure message to get out there and jog.
The goal today was to try and find my “easy pace”. According to macmillan, that should be ~10:38 but I figure my goal miles were 10:15-10:40. At which I failed miserably. It is possible that without the hills my first lap would’ve been okay, but seriously I can’t let hills be my eternal excuse.
Miles:
- 11:10 (bah!)
- 9:37 (too fast)
- 10:02 (better, but still too fast)
Stats:
- Distance: 3.01 miles
- Time: 30:57
- Pace: 10:17
- Avg HR\Max HR: 145\160
- Cals:297
After my workout I busted out two quick sets of this:
- 10 pushups
- 20 squats with overhead press (8lb weights)
- 15 tricep dips
- 10 chest press (8lbs weights)
- 10 chest flys (8lbs weights)
- abs until collapse (bicycles\sit-ups\side-touches with 8lbs)
Tomorrow I am scheduled for a 30 minute tempo run. I will have to do some reading on tempos, I know a bit but I don’t really know what I am doing. I wonder if I can program Garmin to help me somehow?
healthy meal idea of the day:
Bulgar Salad with Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Parsley, Mint and Lemon
