5k (3.11 mile) Treadmill Run in 24:19 + Mile Record

5k (3.11 mile) Treadmill Run in 24:19 + Mile Record

I jumped on the treadmill this afternoon with the expectation of running a 5K pretty easy. After starting the treadmill at 7.0, I quickly moved it up to 7.1 for the next 2 miles. Once I was nearing the two mile mark, I decided that I would go ahead and ramp it all the way up to 9.9 on the treadmill and see if I could finish the run hard. I was successful at finishing the run at that speed. I ended up finishing the run in a respectable 24:19 for an average pace of 7:49/mile. This was pretty decent considering I ran the first two miles at 8:30/mile pace. I also lowered my nikeplus mile record from 6:56 to 6:51 because of the strong finish.

35 Minutes of Men's Indoor Soccer

35 Minutes of Men's Indoor Soccer

I had another Men's league game tonight for Spartak FC Framingham up at Acton's Teamworks Indoor Sports Arena. We played against a very rough group of younger guys, but still got the win by a score of 7-5. It was a great workout and my estimate was that I played about 35 minutes of the 50 minute game. Good stuff.
