Whoa, hot today, 70 degrees at 6:00 am.

8/28/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 9
Intervals, 31 minutes

I did the jogging level for the first 7 minutes, then bumped up to running level 1.

Elliptical
9 minutes

As Grace said, that was a hard workout. It didn't leave me with much for the elliptical.

8/26/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 9, 40 minutes

Elliptical:
10 minutes

8/23/07

Outdoor run:
3.97 miles (and the Nike iPod thing even agreed, a first!)
35:36

6.69 mph

J and I both struggled. My legs felt like lead, jelly lead, if that makes any sense.

8/21/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 14, 41 minutes

Elliptical:
10 minutes


Oh man, it was hot this morning. I really didn't want to do the elliptical but J got me to do the 10 minutes anyway.

8/19/07

Outdoor (track) run:

ITrain outdoor set 6, phase 1

33:11

(+ 0.5 miles to calibrate the Nike Ipod thing).

The Nike thing said I did 3.89 miles, but I think it was less. It was a hard workout, the last push to the 7/8 felt that hard in the heat but I'm sure I wasn't running much faster at that point than the 5/6 phase. Still, it felt good and was definitely a challenge to my normal steady-state runs.

8/16/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 12, 41 minutes

Upright bike:
9 minutes

Dripping with sweat. I used the upper range of the jogging on this one and pushed the speed at the end. That left very little energy for the bike part, but I did keep the heart rate up.

8/14/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 21 Intervals
31 minutes

Wow, that's a fast one. I started out as a jogger for the first 8-9 minutes, then switched it up to runner, level 1. It felt good but the recoveries were still pretty fast!

Elliptical:
19 minutes

8/11/07

iTri set 8:

Treadmill:
14:30

Elliptical:
13:30

Upright bike:
20:30

Treadmill:
20:00

Overall:
1:08:30

Somehow, I finished this one today. I did go pretty easy on the elliptical and used only the slowest jogging speeds but still, this was long and hard, but good. LOTS of sweat.

8/9/07

Outdoor run:
3.97 miles
34:51

6.84 mph

We pushed a little hard in the first half, at least to me it seemed like we did. Then as I slowed, a girl in a yoga shirt and her bf started to pass us and I couldn't let that happen. If she looked like a real runner, I have no problem with her passing. A yoga shirt? Nah. So it was faster than I might have preferred but good nonetheless.

8/7/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 10, 32 minutes

Elliptical:
18 minutes

8/5/07

Outdoor run:
4.88 miles
43:20

6.76 mph


We told ourselves we weren't going to work out this morning so the morning was a slow lazy treat. Then we convinced ourselves to run since it was all gray and overcast. The goal was a 40 minute run, regardless of distance.

8/4/07

Treadmill:
iTrain set 15, 41 minutes

This is a killer, every time. I pushed and did the upper end of the jogging and then I only had juice enough for:

Elliptical:
2 minutes

Treadmill:
iTrain set 20, 35:00
