I had a strong weekend. I ran 6 on the treadmill on Saturday and 5.2 at Sharon Woods with the JTs on Sunday. Monday was my first day off for the last 7 days. This morning I woke up at 4:00am and was at the gym by 5:10. I ran 5 on the treadmill in 46:14 and did a short set of weights.

Apple, Carrot, Yellow Bell Pepper 7/10
I ran my favorite 5k loop along the Olentangy River, it was cold and dark. I should have worn a hat. I maintained a 9:18 pace.

jackturtles run! Ran the loop at Sharon woods today, felt pretty good considering I’ve been off all week with back pain. I ran the loop (3.8) in just over 34 minutes. I’m going to hit the gym tomorrow.
I think this is the first time in my life that I’ve really combined exercise and nutrition. I saw the scale drop below 190 today!
I ran a sub 30 minute 5k on the treadmill (average 6.2 pace) and did a couple quick abs sets to finish up. I’m looking forward to running outside on sunday with the jack turtles.
Gym this morning, ran on the treadmill (reverse tapered from 11:00 to 7:50 minutes per mile for a 30:43 5k) and did 3x1ox30 dumbbell press, 3x10x25 lat raise, 3x10x90 crunch machine, and 100 sit ups. Felt a little off b/c wed is methotrexate day, I also think I was a little dehydrated. Myoplex lite shake (170cal) for breakfast and a steak salad planned for lunch.
I completed the 1/2 in 2:19:46. It felt great! I had been worried about my right foot and I’d stopped running almost two weeks before the race to let the foot rest. I was nervous starting feeling a little tingle in the foot as the race began. I started with a solid 11:30 and got a little faster each mile. I alternated H2O and Gatorade every two miles and I had a couple of shot blocks at mile 6. Post race left me craving a cheeseburger and a two hour shower.
It’s now Monday morning and a little chafing and the marathon shuffle were enough to keep me home from work. I’m going to rest up and have another cheeseburger!
I’ve had a little trouble with my right ankle. It’s been sore for two weeks, and I’ve been tapering for the half marathon next week. I ran 1 mile on the treadmill Wednesday, cardio felt amazing my legs could have gone another hour but I decided to stop and rest for the half.
Today I went to the gym, missing my usual runners fix. I used the ipump total body workout on my ipod. I liked the routine, most can be done with simple barbells and a bench. Good for mornings I cant get to the gym.
I completed the following:
7 min cardio warmup level 10 on rec bike
Leg Squat 3 sets 10 reps 20 lbs 3x10x25
Bench Press 3x10x25
prone row 3x10x25
reverse lunge 3x10x25
lat raise 3x10x10
reverse crunch 3×10
curl 3x10x25
french press 3x10x10
crunch 3×10
lying superman 3×10
i finished with level 10 hill climb spin for 45 minutes (330 cal)
Legs wanted more, I hope my ankle holds for the marathon!
We’re visiting Mary in Arizona. The air quality makes running outside a little rough so we visited the club at Mary’s apartment. I went 4 miles on the treadmill, I like the trail alot more.
5:45am start went about 100 yards and chafing from my long run yesturday shut me down. Turned around and walked home.
A great run this morning from Antrum park to Worthington hills via bike trail. I detoured into my parents neighborhood for a water stop and added a lap on antrum at the end. I didn’t pay attention to my watch or the distance. Time ended up about 1:45
