3.22 Mile Treadmill Run in 26:20


Sara and I decided to try out a new gym this morning in Natick. The place that we checked out is called Suburban Athletic Club. While it has a lot of nice amenities, the place is certainly outdated, more family oriented and thus generally older, and also more expensive than other clubs in the area. As such, I don't think we'll be going for full memberships there.


Anyways, while Sara was doing pilates and swimming, I hit the treadmill for a 3.22 mile run and did biceps and triceps. The treadmill was an older style, but it did have quite a bit of bounce to it. I ended up finishing the 3.22 mile run in 26:20 for an average pace of 8:10/mile. After I finished up running, I headed downstairs and tried out some of the weight machines and equipment. I primarily worked on biceps and triceps for the duration of the workout. After finishing up I hit the steam room (again nice amenity), and then hit the showers.

2.52 Mile Treadmill Run in 20:33

Decided to hit the gym today for another run. After stretching out and starting out with a brief walk I got down to business. I didn't have a whole lot of time for a long run, so I only ended up running 2.52 miles in 20:33 for an average pace of 8:09/mile. After I finished up the run, I went downstairs and worked on shoulders by doing a few exercises.

3.00 Mile Treadmill Run in 25:15 + Chest Workout

Got to the gym at lunchtime for a decent run and lifting workout. I started out on the treadmill w/ my nikeplus and did mile 1 at 7.0, mile 2 at 7.5 and mile 3 at 8.0 and 6.5 (I start getting tired). I finished the 3 mile run in 25:15 for an average pace of 8:24/mile. I ended up burning about 460 calories. After the run, I stretched and headed downstairs to lift. I started on the flat bench and did dumbbell press at 35-40-45. I then did cable cross-overs at low and med heights at 30-35-40. I then finished with lat pull downs of 80-90-100.
