Great run! Very relaxing, didn't push, was waiting to push at the end but the extra 5 miles never came so I never pushed, which was probably a good thing.

A few falls, some other ills but overall - no soreness today except for knee pain that I'm a little concerned about.

Easy 2 miles wearing Vibram's, kinda tough but okay, will need to wait until summer to take Vibrams outdoors. Treadmill doesn't feel too good on the feet, everything else feels fine.

15 reps - lat pull-downs (70 lbs)
30 reps - bench press (15 lb dumbbells)
100 reps - ab crunch machine (85 lbs?)
8 reps - hamstring curl (45 lbs)

- all done in fast succession

Slow relaxing run... very fatigued. I'm worn out!

7 rounds of 7 push-ups and 7 squats = 2 min 31 sec

9 sprints of 40 yrds, 1 sprint at 80 yrds.

Started at 5.8 mph and ran .50 miles.

At .50 miles increased to 5.9 mph
At .75 miles increased to 6.0 mph

I felt like I was going too slow since I knew I could only run for an hour so I increased the interval distance.

At 1.00 miles increased to 6.1 mph
At 1.20 miles increased to 6.2 mph
At 1.40 miles increased to 6.3 mph
At 1.60 miles increased to 6.4 mph
At 1.80 miles increased to 6.5 mph
At 2.00 miles increased to 6.6 mph

I then decided I needed to slow down a bit and stabilize.

At 2.25 miles increased to 6.7 mph
At 2.50 miles increased to 6.8 mph
At 2.75 miles increased to 6.9 mph
At 3.00 miles increased to 7.0 mph
At 3.25 miles increased to 7.1 mph
At 3.50 miles increased to 7.2 mph
At 3.75 miles increased to 7.3 mph
At 4.00 miles increased to 7.4 mph
At 4.25 miles increased to 7.5 mph
At 4.50 miles increased to 7.6 mph
At 4.75 miles increased to 7.7 mph
At 5.00 miles increased to 7.8 mph
At 5.25 miles increased to 7.9 mph
At 5.50 miles increased to 8.0 mph
At 5.75 miles increased to 8.1 mph
At 6.00 miles increased to 8.2 mph
At 6.25 miles increased to 8.3 mph
At 6.50 miles increased to 8.4 mph

At 6.75 miles decreased to 7.5 mph (8 min/mile) and maintained until 6.95 miles at 60 minutes.

Felt really good! Not sure if I was going to slow because it didn't feel that easy, but it felt good nevertheless.

I feel like I'm not ready for an 8 min/mile marathon. I also know that I should really be making sure I do my intervals and last week was terrible!

We did 1 round of 6 exercises and a 2nd round of 7 exercises.

Knees to Elbows (laying down): 26, 32 = 58
Overhead walking lunges: 34, 36 = 70
Deadlifts: 19, 17 = 36
Jump rope: 118, 88 = 206
Diagonal ring pull-ups: 27, 24 = 51
Kettlebell swings (18 kg...?): 24, 22 = 46

We added the deadlift ball (25 lb) slam on the 2nd round: 12 reps

Total Reps: 479

Worked on hand stand push-ups. Did 3 - 4 sets of 4 - 5 reps, I was able to start going a little lower.

Then we started at P2 (garage level) and did broad jumps up the stairs for 27 flights, holy smokes!!! I was beat!! - to say the least.

However, since this was a big hip flexor workout, which I really didn't know beforehand. It didn't hurt at all and I did some good hip flexor stretches afterwards.

I slept very well last night and was absolutely exhausted!

Nice slow, easy run.
