CIM Training Week 3, Day 2: 3 miles

Today I felt like I was FLYING! Obviously I wasn't, but compared to what my pace was in the not-to-distant past, I certainly was. I ran 3 miles today, then walked the last .18 mi back to work as a cooldown.





Splits
Mile 1: 8:40
Mile 2: 8:48
Mile 3: 8:53

3 miles, 8:47/mi average pace, 26:21 total. 408 calories burned.

CIM Training Week 3, Day 1: Cross Training

Week 3 begins! 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer, 560 calories burned. Nothing much else to say today, other than the fact that I love Pandora. I got to listen to Rush, which is nice. :)

  • 19:12:54: Back from the movie... on the way home I saw a guy who I've decided is training for an ultra. Either that or he's a glutton for punishment.
  • 19:14:53: So at 10:30 this morning as we drove over a bridge, we saw this guy crossing perpendicular, running with a weight vest
  • 19:15:15: He may have been a bodybuilder, he had a large build, I didn't take him to be a "runner". When we got close to him he was walking.
  • 19:15:38: On the way home from the movie, driving over the same bridge, at 6:30pm, we saw the same guy... same clothes... same weight vest
  • 19:16:01: So either he was splitting workouts, or he was out there run/walking with the vest for 8+ hours
  • 19:32:26: My son's tooth came out! *FINALLY*
  • 19:33:15: This is a big deal man, it's been sticking straight out for a couple weeks.
