1000 Meters of Swimming + 1 Mile Run

1000 Meters of Swimming + 1 Mile Run

So I've been really trying to start swimming for the first time in my life as a means to keep myself in shape. Although I was pretty sore from two consecutive days of lifting I decided to hit the gym today to get in some swimming and work different muscle groups. The pool is 25 meters from end to end, and I estimate that I did about 20 round-trip laps, thus the estimation of about 1000 meters of swimming. I primarily did freestyle with a little bit of breaststroke, backstroke, water jogging, and legs only swimming. While it didn't hurt at the time, I am starting to feel sore tonight as I type this entry. After running and drying off, I changed and went up to the sky track for another 1 mile run. I finished today's 1.01 mile run in 7:04. Nikplus claims I burned 139 calories

I am starting to come down with quite a bit of a cold, but I decided to jump on the treadmill this afternoon and go for a 4 mile run in hopes of clearing the congestion. I purposely ran slow today, having not put in a run of any distance in quite some time. I ran casually and ended up finishing the 4 mile trek in 33:52, good for an average pace of 8:26/mile. Nikeplus says I burned 553 calories.

5K (3.11 mile) Treadmill Run in 24:06

5K Treadmill Run in 24:06

Got on the treadmill tonight with the expectation of running a slower paced 5k. I started the treadmill off at 7.6 (just below an 8 min/mile pace), and proceeded to run at that speed until the 4K mark. With 1K remaining I upped the speed to 10.0 (6 min/mile pace) and finished the run. I ultimately finished the 5K run in 24:06 for an average pace of 7:44/mile. According to nikeplus I burned 431 calories.
