Treadmill Record Run

I went to the Y over lunch, told myself I was going to go for a half hour at a record pace for me. The last time I tried it, my shoe came untied after 22 minutes..LOL, never fails. Oh well.
I set the speed at 7.5 mph and kept the pace for 25 minutes. Then I bumped it up to 8.2, then 8.3, then 8.4, then 8.5, then 8.6 mph to finish. It wasn't easy, but I felt great after it was over. I ran 3.89 miles in 30:39. I find the road miles are so much easier then the treadmill.

Just a nice day

I was at the Y by 5:40 this morning, we did a Core Abs class starting at the free weights. It was different but I think I like the regular classes better. I was also able to get 10 minutes in on the bike aswell. After class myself and 3 others went for a nice slow pace run out by the horse farm. I got in 4.10 miles. You know, it really felt good to jog at a 10 minute pace.

P.S. may go for a longer run later in the day.

Most of the snow is gone

The weather has been warmer the last few days. Yesterday the roads and sidewalks were rather nasty. My feet were soaked from all the slush & water after about 5 1/2 miles. Today was much better. I figured I'd take advantage of this and put in a long run. I logged 13.1 miles. It felt great to finally get off that treadmill. Now lets just cross our figures that it stays like this a little longer.

New Website

I have been keeping track of my running/Biking/Swim/ Strength training on a really cool website. It's at www.ontri.com . Not only do I keep logs on fitness, I also keep track of all the food & the calories as well. Wow, I never knew how much I eat. It's no wonder so many people are overweight.

My training is going well. I still need a ton of work in the water. I swam for abot 45 minutes today during lunch. Also did 6.77 miles on the TM at the Y tonight. Logged about 15 miles on the bike about 5:45 this morning & even did a little Ab's training as well. I am feeling stronger. Just need to keep pushing myself.
