Weight Training

Nothing too detailed, just a Friday gym workout. And wouldn't you know it, just before heading to the gym I got a nice paper cut and had to work out with a bandaid covering most of my finger. No blood, but boy did it sting.

Tomorrow's a 10-mile run with a 40% chance of rain. I was scheduled for 12 miles, and 10 miles next Saturday, but since next Sunday's the Kaiser Half Marathon, I'm swapping the two.

Thursday's Tempo Run

What happens when the first mile is run at 8:30/mi and the Garmin 305 only tracks 5 feet of it?

One grumpy runner.
