Was going to do some 60/120s today but once I got going, I just opted to keep jogging the two laps.  On the second lap, I added ten 10 second sprints.  You sprint for 10 seconds and then slow down for 50.  It helped to break up the monotony a little bit.

Lap 1: 18:30.65  Lap 2: 17:38.25 = 36:08.90

That's about 12:03 per mile.  With the easy pace, I don't think my knees will be hurting today.  We will see.  It was a little warm this morning, but not too bad.  Weighed in after eating breakfast.  I've been eating the good things of life too much and now I have to come back to reality.

Nothing yet for distance.  Pyramid for pushups, situps and air squats.  Started at 1 and worked up to 10 then back down from 10 to 1.  That gives me 110 reps for each exercise.  Midway through, I switched situps for rowers.  While I was working back down, I started skipping around after the set of 8, but did complete all the required reps.

It seemed so easy when I started up.  I finished the 9th set and was about to start the 10th at the 10 minute mark.  It then took me another 20 minutes and 54 seconds to finish.  Total time for the workout was 30:54.

Didn't want to get out of bed, but that's normal.  Managed to start a jog and went the opposite way on the neighborhood loop.  (I'm so spoiled with this neighborhood loop.)  Anyway, after jogging for a half mile to warm up, started 60/120s.  Ten reps gets me about a loop and a half.  I threw in five 10/20s just for fun.  It takes me 5 seconds just to get up to speed.  Walked about a quarter mile to cool down and then came home to stretch.  Total time: 53:26.29  Had I jogged and finished up the normal 2 laps around the loop, I probably would've gotten home at about 42 or 43 minutes.
