Back to the Treadmill

Feeling quite like a hamster on a running wheel, I headed back to the treadmill for a run today. I can't say that I don't like the treadmill, it is just a bit boring at times. I definitely like the fact I can pace myself better and maintain a speed more consistently. I don't like to watch TV while I am running, as it kind of seems wrong to do so. My iPod is great but the tunes can get a bit old too. The last time I ran on the trail, though, I twisted my ankle, and am still feeling some aches and pains from it, even though it has been over a month since it happened. I will try it again soon, after my ankle recovers fully.

Today I ran 2.75 miles in 35 minutes (including warm up and cool down) then decided to do some strength training on my upper body. Details below:

• Chest - 2x8/80
  
• Shoulder - 2x8/60
  
• Lat - 2x8/100
  
• Tri - 2x8/50
  
• Bi - 2x8/60
  

Happy Memorial day folks!
