What I’ve been up to…

Been taking it easy this past week. Ran wednesday after work for the first time. Just a little 3 miles on treadmill. Friday after work, I got my bike out and went for a 35 minute spin and then ran 1.5 miles. Was pretty great in the autumn air. I ran around a track at a middle school. No one else was around…just me and the faints sounds of the leaves blowing gently. As I rounded the eastern corner of the track and headed west, i could see the sun start to set. Gorgeous. Beautiful evening here in Georgia. My first couple of laps were slow, 2:30ish, but after those, each one was a little faster ending in a 9:04 pace. I am still in recovery mode ( and it was getting dark) so i ended it early.

This afternoon, went for another 3 miler through my neighborhood. Again, perfect weather. 60’s. My mile splits went as such: 9:41, 9:36, 8:26. If only I could run all the splits like the last one!

Tonight/tomorrow, I’m gonna dedicate some time to come up with some non-running training and exercises to do on a daily basis so I can get fitter, stronger, and better.
