What ever it takes!

Good run today, had pretty good energy and no pain to speak of.  I decided to not risk running on the track too much so I hit the treadmill.  6 miles followed by weights.

Between helping carry Carina's fancy new Boston Marathon Treadmill into her basement, and shoveling mounds and mounds of snow all weekend my arms were pretty shot.

10 minutes on the elliptical to get warmed up then 44 laps on the track.  Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are Counterclock wise days on the track which equates to 172 left turns on concrete which I think is really bad on my left hamstring among other things.  So tomorrow back to the treadmill.
 

10 minutes on the elliptical, 6 miles on the treadmill.  Seemed hard today!

Did my standard 10 minutes of elliptical followed by 6 mile slow progression run, but then I did something wild and crazy.  I was feeling so good I decided to do some sprints, did 5 on 5 off (jogs) for another mile.  Felt good to run fast for just a little bit, this may sound weird but I have been so out of shape I felt like I couldn't get back into shape, I'm finally starting to see some progress, where I can actually push myself a little bit to where I feel like I'm getting a workout at the end.  I think for a while my cardio level was way higher than my body would let me go so I just never felt like I was getting a workout.

For my company work party we play games and the winner in each catagory gets $500 apparently.  The games are Badmittin, Darts, Bull Riding, Foosball, PingPong, Airhockey, Basketball, and Shuffleboard.  I signed up for the AirHockey, let the training begin.  $500 for Christmas will be nice.

Not much to say,  glad to have had a good consistant running week finally.
 

Oh, I forgot.  Not that my blog is the greatest place to advertise but my wife is friends with the owner of Fleetfeet in American Fork.  She wanted me to post that they are going out of business and everything is 35% off.
