Day Off

I did not run this morning. But may try to do some running this afternoon. Or at least 20 minutes on the tramp.

Sunday and Monday

Sunday I ran a nice 5K through Cascades. Kept in zone 4 until the the final downhill and finished in 23:12.

Today I ran 5K in my local loop and tried stay at 7min pace. Finished in 21:03 (6:45pace).
This was my personal best.

Trampoline

My knees and shins were hurting last night so I decided not to run today.

Then, I decided to try something different to get an arobic workout... trampoline.

Jumping like mad, I got my heartrate up to 170bpm (zone 5) . . and then did 20 minutes in zone 4. Actually I jumped a lot longer working with my watch trying to get it to work right.

The result was amazing, a thoroughly exhausting leg muscle wearying workout but none of the joint soreness that is associated with running.

I think I will hit the tramp twice a week instead of running.

Thurs 1/25 and Fri 1/26

Ran a 5K on both days.
22:10 on Thurs on the flat loop around house
and
24:20 (or so) today on Sugarland loop, running with under 160BPM as much as I could stand it. (I have to almost walk up some hills to keep it that low).

2mi and 5k

Today I did the sugarland 5k again. Ran in zone 5. It hurt more but I only got in in 22:32.

Yesterday I did 2mi intervals.

Snow Day!

About 1.5 inches of snow covered with ice was on the ground this morning.
No running

First 10K and then some

Took off completely yesterday.

Ran 7.3 miles in one hour this am. the last 4 were tough. (see pink line)



Here is my running summary for the past week.
