With today being a federal holiday, I was tempted to go into holiday mode especially since it was drizzling rain.  Since I had a bad week of running last week, I decided to get a fresh start this week.

Ran down to the trail.  There were some members from a nearby church out for a morning run on the trail.  We all turned around at the 1.5 mile marker and I just kept going until I got home.  I was grateful for the crosswalk light being red so I could catch my breath for the home stretch.

14:37.19 to the trail start and back across Treetop

15:00.25 (about 1.4 miles) to the 1.5 marker

16:08.74 back to Treetop (I hate those hills!)

12:48.50 Home = 58:34.68 Total run time

Averages out to an 11:43 mile.  Did a set of 10 pushups and 20 situps to kind of loosen up before stretching.

3 sets: 24 Air Squat Combos, 25 pushups (15 + 10 on last set), 15 swimmers, 24 situps, 10 four count flutter/scissor kick combo, 12 back bridge, 54 sec plank

I know I'm resting a little too much.  Takes me about an hour to get through these.  The hardest exercises for me being the pushups, situps and plank.

Jogged to CFR Trail start to warm up.  Did 10 reps of 60 sec on/ 60 sec off which allowed me to reach NTA at the Andover/Ramsey intersection.  I was just plain tired after that and faded on my jog back.  I had to walk a little more than usual coming home.  Threw in 6 reps of 10 sec on/ 30 sec off just for fun.

Today I underestimated my co-worker.  He wanted someone to run with on a 2 miler so that he could get a sub-18 minute time.  He is also older than me.  I told him that we could start together but I would probably catch up to him in the middle.  That is exactly what happened.  We then stayed together until near the end when he just turned on the jets and left me in the dust.  I thought about trying to catch him for only a half second and let that thought go.  He came in at 17:40.  I came in at 17:55.  He didn't even need my help.  I guess it is just cool to have someone else run with you from time to time.

That being said.  I need to add some tempo runs to my training.  I'm too used to jogging which I love.
