Runnin

Back on the treadmill! Working off thanksgiving.

Runnin'

A nice, hilly run-walk on the treadmill today:

Not to Fifty!

Fans of Princess Bride might recall this line spoken by Count Rugen when Prince Humperdink shoves The Machine up to fifty, bringing a world of pain to Westley.

Well I hit fifty today: fifty miles! Hopefully not in as bad of shape as poor Westley.

Treadmill Runnin!

OK! Treadmill take two. I did an "aerobic" workout, where it varied the incline to change up the intensity. This one, the ipod did not eat:



This was my NEW personal best mile! Sweet! It was 10'11''!

Treadmill Runnin!

Got on my first treadmill today, at the gym. Work basically pays for membership (I pay income tax on it) so why not go -- sidewalk has been mucho rougho on my knees lately and I've been using that as an excuse/reason not to run.

Today was a walk/run for 30 min. Nike ate this workout so I can't find my little widget for it :(

New Flickr Page

In the interests of self-promotion I've made a Flickr page, and then I had to go look at all the SF photos and found Jeremy's site (hi Jeremy!) and then I had to go look at all the FOOD PICTURES and now I am really hungry.

I better go running tomorrow, this is getting silly. I gotta hit 50 miles total, I am so close! I am feeling discouraged because running on the sidewalk is really hurting my knees now. I am going to have to get up early and hit the trails, or run at work (which is still basically sidewalk). UGH.

As I'm On Call this weekend for work, I couldn't go more than 15 mins out, so no bike ride. Did a toughie 2.5 miles instead. It just rained today, so it was hot and humid, like Rochester!

Runnin

I did it!! I hit three miles today. Personal all-time best :)



Here is a recap of my goals as well!







Two goals completed, so time to work on two new ones!

Runnin

A really nice run tonight! Mike joined me on his bike.

Can you believe this steady pace?!?

Weight training

Ran for a mile to get the heart rate up. Nice and steady pace!


Workout B
Incline press 3x10 @ 10
Pullups 5x5
Lunges 3x10 @ 20
Calf raises 4x20
Abs 3x20

Weight Training

I did a 1 mile run today to work on speed and as a warm up for my weight session. I hit a new personal best mile! It may be slow but 10:25 is my best yet, and I wasn't even pushing it to the max.

It's kinda all over the place, it's pretty funny. I still need to find my steady pace to run at. Every time I would speed up, I would get nervous that I wouldn't be able to finish the run, so I would taper off. I've gotta just try to keep it steady!



My Workout A was today:

Bench 4x10 @ 10-20-10-20
Overhead lift 3x10 @ 10
Squats 4x10 @ 10 -- today I did them "ass-to-grass"!
Abs 3x20
Supermans 3x15
Curls 3x10 @ 10 per arm
Tris 3x10 @ 10 with both arms

I hit my LONGEST RUN today!! Ever!!! 2.53 miles. It took me 28 minutes and it was worth every step. This run felt almost effortless.
