5 Mile Treadmill Run in 37:43
Didn't feel very well today (perhaps it was the new year's eve celebrating?), but I wanted to get in a nice long run. So I started the treadmill on 7.5 and gradually worked it up to about 8.5 which is where I finished. I ended up finishing the 5 mile run in 37:43 for an average pace of about 7:33/mile. It was definitely tough over the last 2 miles. I'm just glad to have gotten the mileage in and start 2009 on a positive note.

Lunchtime Chest Workout
Lunchtime Chest Workout
Got to the gym at lunchtime today for a good chest workout with Stephen. We started off with 12 minutes on the elliptical, then did bench, incline bench with dumbbells, row machine, flys, and a bit of abs. It was good to get in a chest workout.

2.01 Mile Run in 13:00
2.01 Mile Run in 13:00
Got in a 2 mile run on the treadmill this afternoon as the premature darkness was setting in during our beautiful New England winter. I decided to get in a little speed work after my long distance training of the past several days. I started the treadmill off hard (8.8) and continued to work it up by about 2/10ths at every half mile interval until I was hitting 10.0 during my last half mile. Besides taking one quick break to stretch, it was an honest 2.01 mile run in 13:00 for an average pace of about 6:28/mile. Definitely my fastest couple of miles in a really long time. After the run Tiger Woods congratulated me on my fastest mile split to date via the Nike + celeb personalities. Not sure if this was my fastest mile ever, or just with the new chip - I'll have to do a little digging.

5 Mile Treadmill Run in 35:35
5 Mile Treadmill Run in 35:35
Got on the treadmill today for the start of the Patriots game with the intention of getting in a nice 5 mile run. I always seem to push it a little too hard, and not pace myself too well, so sure enough I quickly had the treadmill speed above 8, then finished the last mie between 9 and 10. This resulted in finishing the 5.0 mile run in 35:35 for an average pace of about 7:06/mile.
