my exercise

I ran at 5 AM in Mesa.  The temp was about 84 degrees. I didn't push it too much.  Originally I planned on running closer to 5 miles but right at about 3.2 I really started feeling the heat.  total running time 36:28

total running time 48:40.  back in UP.  temp in 50's for the run.  totally blue skies.  This is the best time of year to be here and the worst time to be in AZ.  It will be a tough move.

ran on the track after an 8 min warmup ran 5 x 1000 meters with 100 meter active rcovery between each one.  4:47, 4:47, 4:46, 4:53, 4:53.  rest was :41, :58, :59, 1:37 Walking.  really felt tired after this was over.  jogged a 600 on the track immediately after finished the last 1K and it was SLOW 4:29 slow.  I really need to lose 5 or 10 pounds.  I have 7 more runs in great running weather and then it will be a struggle for awhile with the heat.

oh well.  this is an exciting new chapter in our lives!

did 30 back extenders and then the 7 minutes of exercise/warm-up.  I ran 4 miles starting out really easy.  the second half I went hard on the downhill of Bridgeport (3:06 down as opposed to 4:10 up) and then I did 10 x 15 sec strides with 45 seconds running in between.  total running time 34:56 with 18:41 out and 16:15 back.

then I road the exercise bike for 25 minutes ( 8 miles).

total exercise time 1 hour.

I rode the exercise bike for an hour.  I rode 19.08 miles.  I was reading almost the entire time so I was not pushing things at all.  I got in a good sweat!

I left for my run early and it was in the low 50's.  I went the GV/SV trial route with the plan to do it in reverse for an 8 mile run.  however, the hill just took too much out of me so I just repeated the GV trail twice more.  Total running time was 65:38.  I ran the SV trail in 18:25 really pushing the last hill.  that just took it all out of me.  I ran the GV trail 3 times...the first time in 9:44.  After finishing the hill I ran the GV trail in 10:58 and thought that was due to the hill.  I tried to pick up the pace for the return on the GV trail adn could not actually running the thrid time in 11:12.  Now 5 hours after finishing the run my legs are still really tired.
