Tonight's Workout (2/9/05)

Really Good.

I ran/walked another 3 miles this evening. If I were training for a 5K I would be sure to finish in under an hour. I saw this thing on TV where this guy did a 5K in under 20 minutes. But I'm not there yet. Last night I did 3 miles in about 52 minutes, a little over my time from Monday. This is probably because I took a break half way through to stretch my calves.

Elliptical
- Time: 11 min
- Dist: .8 miles
Treadmill
- Time: 55 min
- Dist: 3.1 miles
Lots of stretching

I've just about overcome all my aches and pains when running, but now that I'm running longer intervals I've developed this other pain where my feet start getting numb. So I’m still at the point where I have to slow down and walk for a few minutes before I can start running again. I’m not sure I made my 1-mile goal this week. I tend to cover the screen w/ a towel so I'm not focusing on the numbers. There were times that I felt I ran for a mile but I can't be sure. Also now that I'm running longer I don't have time to do other things like Abs and strength training after I finish my run. By the time I'm done running I'm ready to go home.

As for food, I had another great day where I didn't go over my points. Even with the toasted Subway sandwich that I rewarded myself with after my run I didn't go over my allotted points today. Yeah!!

Tomorrow night, no workout. I have a hair appointment. Friday I don't think I can go to the gym if I'm going to run on Saturday morning. I’m going to use this free time to study and complete my midterms.
