2.86 Mile Treadmill Run in 22:45 & Bicep Workout

Got to the gym at lunchtime today with the idea of banging out more in the range of about 5 miles. I jumped on the treadmill, got it going up to 7.5 and started hitting the mileage. Around the 15 minute mark, I started stressing about some stuff I had to accomplish at work, which also coincided with some fading confidence in my ability to run a hard 5 miles pain-free. So, I reset my sights on a shorter distance. After raising the speed to 7.6, 7.7, I then decided to really hammer home the last 1/2 mile. I ended up raising the speed between 9.2-10 for the final half mile, which really brought down my mile pace. I ended up finishing the 2.86 mile run in 22:45 for an average pace of 7:56/mile with 412 calories burned.

Afterwards, I went downstairs and did long bar curls and long bar raises. After that I was pretty much spent and called it a day.

3.14 Treadmill Miles in 24:38 + Bicep & Tricep Work

Made it to the Gym at lunchtime today with the intention of getting in a decent run and continuing my cardio work as of late. I jumped on the treadmill, stretched and started running at 7.2 for a little bit. I increased it little by little and by the 2.0 mile mark I was up to 8.5. I ended up deciding to run the same exact distance as yesterday. I finished the 3.14 mile run in 24:38 for an average pace of about 7:51/mile. I burned 488 calories.

After the run I walked downstairs and decided to work on the biceps and triceps a bit. I did standing hammer curls of 30-35-40. Afterwards, I went to the machines and did rope tricep pull downs of 40-55-70, and curl bars of 40-55-70.

Nice workout.

3.14 Better Miles in 24:49

Haven't been working out much lately with everything going on, but I still decided to get outside and get a bit of exercise. I didn't plan on running exactly 5K, but once I got about 2 miles completed I figured it would be a good goal and help push me towards the finish. I kept a pretty constant pace and pushed it at the end to try to turn in a sub 25 minute time. I ended up finishing the 3.14 mile neighborhood run in 24:49 for an average pace of 7:52/mile.
