3.21 Miles on the Treadmill in 23:35

Hit the gym at lunch-time for a planned treadmill run and short back workout. I stretched out and walked a bit on the treadmill before starting my nikeplus. I ended up running 5.02 kilometers (3.21 miles) in 23:35 for an average pace of 4:41/km. This time is not very far off my fastest 5K, so that was good news. According to the treadmill, I burned 507 calories.

After cooling down a bit, I went downstairs and worked on back. I did 2 handed dumbell raises for my upper back of 25-30-35, then did sitting cable rows of 60-80-90.

2.01 Mile Run Around Ashland in 16:53

Went for a nice little run around the neighborhood in Ashland tonight. The temps were in the low 60s when Sara and I hit the streets tuning into our respective Ipod Nanos. I rocked out to a little Trevor Hall and pounded out just over 2 miles in 16:53 for an average pace of 8:22. The run wasn't all that fast, and I didn't feel that well, but the key is getting the work done.

Lunch-time Bicep Workout

Got to the gym at lunch time for a strict bicep workout. After stretching out I did cable machine curls at 60-70-80. I then did cable pull downs of 40-30-20. I then moved over to free weights and did standing hammer curls of 30-35-40. I finished off with long bar curls of 50-55-60.
