May 18, 2011 Wednesday Speedwork
Dreading this workout all day. Finally got myself down to the Seawalk at 8:15 pm. Decided to incorporate some walking into my routine tonight so to warm up did 2:30 run/1:00 walk. First km did 3:00/1:00 and time was 6:15. Second km did 2:30/1:00 and time was 6:06. Third km did 3:30/1:00 and time was 6:17. Noticed that I was way more relaxed by third km and that is probably why I forgot to take walk break earlier.
Did the whole workout at 85 paces per minute. It was feeling easier tonight.
Once home did 7 minutes cycling/planks front and sides, 7 minutes cycling/10 pushups, 20 crunches, 20 elbow to knee crunches, 7 minutes cycling. This equaled 21:05 cycling, 12.24 km and 290.6 calories burned. (My goal was to burn at least 260 to account for 1/2 the 100 gram chocoate bar I ate at lunch today).
Talked to Jerry about my running. He said he thinks that getting my weight down is as important as my runs. I seem to be able to pull off my races with minimal training but my weight is a real problem. I finally hit below 160 today - 159.5. Tomorrow I will start keeping a food journal.
May 17, 2011 Tuesday was a missed run.
