Thursdays

Thursdays are the hardest days in my half marathon program.  Harder than the long runs by far.  Running 3 miles and then doing my lifting routine is not only hardcore… it takes a long time.

Speedwork

Today was a speedwork day. I ran 7 x 400m repeats.  My splits were:

1:40.69, 1:35.68, 1:40.78, 1:40.51, 1:42.70, 1:39.01, and 1:41.11

I felt pretty good although I didn’t run as fast as I did a couple weeks ago.  I tried to slow down slightly so I wasn’t so beat after the last repeat.

Regular Tuesday Lifting

Tuesday is my first day for lifting each week.  I was happy with my workout although I had to do my last set this evening… I ran out of time in the morning.

Long Run in the early morning

I did Saturday’s long run on Sunday instead.  For whatever reason I woke up at 4:00 and decided to do my long run (7 miles this week) at the ungodly hour of 4:30.  It went very well, and I only saw 3 cars and 1 other person.  I actually ran a bit more than 7.

This morning I ran my prescribed 4 miles and it was a hard run… sleepy and a bit worn out from yesterdays run.

My First Post

Here is my first post under Word Press.  Entering the blogging world and I’m not sure why.  My primary purpose here will be to track my weight and fitness.  I’ll have to see what all WordPress has to offer.  If you stumble across this page you can see my old log here:   http://travismharris.googlepages.com/
