3.04 Mile Run in 22:53

3.04 Mile Run in 22:53

Got on the treadmill this morning for a hungover run. Decided it was worth it to get in the mileage and work off a little bit of the beer consumption from the previous evening. Didn't necessarily feel great, but as I've said before, it is key to work through those days of subliminal discouragement. I ended up finishing the 3.04 mile run in 22:53 for an average pace of 7:31/mile.

10.18 Mile Bike Ride + Shoulder Workout

10.18 Mile Bike Ride + Shoulder Workout

Made it to the BSC Westborough for a second consecutive evening workout. As opposed to last night's "sprint workout", my aim was to go longer and slower on the cardio side tonight. So, I started out on the expresso bike by picking an "extreme" course called Drifter's Peak. It was a pretty nutty ride with a massive climb that you don't hit the apex of until about mile 6, then it's a mild downhill all the way to the finish. At the steepest portion of the climb, the incline grade was 42%! Needless to say my hamstrings were burning by the finish. After finishing and stumbling over to the free weights area I did a few shoulder exercises, before finally doing 50 abs to put the finishing touches on another solid workout.

1 Mile Run, Bicep & Tricep Workout, 2.38 Mile Bike Ride

1 Mile Run, Bicep & Tricep Workout, 2.38 Mile Bike Ride

Got to the Westborough BSC, and started right up with a fast 1 mile run. Finished the 1.01 mile sprint (for me), in 6:03 for an average pace of 6:02/mile. I then cooled down, then headed to the free weights for a bicep and tricep workout. After spending about 20 minutes there, I then jumped on the expresso bike and completed a 2.38 mile loop on the "Evening Bliss" course in 8:17 with 99 calories burned.

Quick intense workout.
