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.

5K Run in 21:39
5K Run in 21:39
Got on the treadmill early this morning for a nice birthday run. Nothing better than starting out a holiday or a birthday with a good morning run. Makes you feel like a million bucks the rest of the day and no guilt about what you end up eating. I cranked the treadmill up from the get-go this morning and proceeded to run at speeds ranging from 8.5 to 10.0 for the duration of the run. Good to get a little speed work in and finish the 5K run in 21:39 for a pace under 7 minutes per mile.

2.0 Mile Run with New IPOD Nano & Nike +
2.0 Mile Run with New IPOD Nano & Nike +
Got my new 16GB IPOD Nano and a new Nikeplus running chip/receiver for Christmas yesterday, so I couldn't wait to hook it up and get in my first Nikeplus run since March! Hard to believe I've lived this long without Nike +. Anyways, I went for a 2 mile run on the treadmill and quickly realized that my failure to calibrate the nike + sensor prior to my run resulted in me having to crank the treadmill up to 9.0 just to equate to a 8 minute per mile pace on the nike plus. Thus, my first run below looks awfully slow paced, even though reality would show I was sprinting for the last mile. After the run Icalibrated the nikeplus, so it should be good moving forward.
