Treadmill miles. Ok run. My gym purchased new treadmills and this was my inaugural run. The treadmills are comfortable; the tread feels tight as they moved along the rollers, and the floor gave a little as each foot pressed down. Unfortunately, I was bummed out to discover they limit run-time to only 60 minutes. The old treadmills imposed no time constraints; you could essentially run until the engine blew out hahaaa. That's not the truth, the gym has a '30-minute' policy which is never enforced during the hours I hit the gym.

This weekend I will buy new shoes as my trainer informed me that my shoes are better suited for trails... and also he informed me that my feet are very flat, so I would need super arch support to prevent each foot from 'rolling-in'.

1 mile warm-up

5xs
- 2.5 times around track at roughly 2:27/quarter
- 0.5 times rest (slow jog)

0.75 mile cool-down

For the work-out, I pretty much kept pace at 2:27/quarter... sometimes faster, sometimes slower.

28 xs around the track in Bayonne Park. Nice and slow... felt real good. My shins are alittle sore now, but not that bad.

4xs

0.75 miles at 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2
0.25 miles slow job (5.0 miles)

note, couldn't do the fourth lap. Treadmill miles. Felt out of shape and winded (could it be all the burgers I've been eating? Or all the walking I did yesterday?)

Ran loops around the Teaneck High track.

~5.2 miles
55:01 minutes

Four times around the main loop of Bayonne Park. Nice run, but I'm running slow.

2.4 miles
25:01 minutes

Loop around parent's house in Toms River. I believe running outdoors is soo much more difficult than running on a treadmill. This little course has no shade, but no hills either. Should have been pretty comfortable but I struggled through it.

Treadmill miles. Well, I was sick for about a week. Still feeling pretty horrible but I saw my doctor today and he gave me a clean bill of health! So, against my better judgement I went running. And it was a good run too... I wasn't tight anywhere, my breathing was good...

o yeah, my doc weighed me... 172lbs! whoa! As long as I don't start looking paper thin I'll be OK -- better start hitting the weights heavy.
