Running Through Life

3 of them @ 8:11

Did I do them?

Of course.

Did I do them correctly?

Of course NOT!!!

Did I hit the 8:11 avaerage?

Yes, just under at 8:09

Mile 1 - 7:47.10

Mile 2 - 7:47.78

Can't ask for much more consistency than that.

Mile 3 - 8:34.43

Slow, because I walked twice, cussed myself out and started again. Might have... never mind. Might haves do not matter when you didn't do it.

Then it starting raining so I took a slow mile walk back to the car. I got thoroughly drenched, but enjoyed.

The gf had her women's training run as well and she finished in the top of her group again. Going to have to move her into the intermediate running group.

This morning I did P90X again. More cheating though. I have no dumbbells (why do they call them dumbbells?). GF had some 5 lbs things that I used, but far too light. So basically I went through the motions of the routine. I am going to buy some dumbbells for when this routine hits again next week. The morning routine worked on biceps and triceps. Both places I am sorely lacking.

No running tonight with TNT as I have the great VMWare user meeting. So junk food, soda and a bunch of tech people trying to bullshit each other about their data centers.

Thursday, I have a 6 mile run (2 easy, 2 @8:44, 2 easy) and Saturday 13 miles @10:14. Plus P90X every day.

the beginning of the end

But this is the Beginning ofthe End. 

Remember.

Oh, why is this the beginning of the end?

I am tired.

I hurt.

My painful right shoulder hurts.

My left arm hurts more trying to over compensate for the right.

But I did the best I could.

Here's a quick rundown - 

15 minute warmup, normal pushups, wide grip pullups, military pushups, reverse grip pullups, wide fly pushups, close grip pullups, decline pushups, heavy pants, diamond pushups, lawnmowers, dive bomber pushups, back flies. And then we did those 12 in a different order. 5 minute cooldown. If you want to see detail and descriptions - go here. My user is RunningFirst at runningahead.com. 

So, tomorrow will be a rough day. P90X - plyometrics and FIRST training of mile repeats. I am trying to decide which to do in the morning and which for the afternoon.

Let's see if I can continue this.
