8 mile run

Today was an 8 mile run on the Nike campus. The last two miles picked up the pace to about 6 min/ mile.

6 mile run

Today was an easy 6 miler with some hills. Right now just running to stay healthy. Not sure about wanting to do any more racing.

Easy 6 mile run with some circuit training

Today was my first day back after about 1 week of fighting of an upper respiratory flu virus. I am still a little congested but my energy level felt good enough to get out and enjoy some exercise. I also think light exercise helps boost the immune system. Also it is nice to get the blood flowing and extra oxygen to the body to help stimulate recovery.

Fighting a cold

Today I finally lost the battle to a cold virus. I am now officially infected and taking time off from running.

easy 5 mile recovery jog

I took it easy today and did a relaxing 5 mile recovery run.

5 mile run followed by hard circuit training

Today I did a 5 mile run. I also put in some circuit training. This included running up 200 stairs carrying a heavy weight. I jogged to the track and then ran a 400m @ 64 seconds, then immediately did 50 pushups, then 50 dips, then a 200m @ 32 seconds, then 50 plyometric jumps using a picnic table bench, and finally 50 more pushups. It was also below freezing making it difficult to get warmed up. Yesterday was an easy 5 mile run.

10x100m hill sprints

Yesterday I ran an easy 45 minute run. Today I did a 15 minute run followed by 10x1000m hill sprints.
