Happy Friday!
Today being Friday, it is a day where I push myself in the morning workout to cover some distance while jogging. I jogged 5.27 miles in 53 minutes. I was trying to do 6 miles in under 60 minutes but I just could not keep the pace. My first 3 miles were at a pace of 5.5 to 5.7 MPH Which meant my last 3 miles were going to need to be near 9 minute miles and I just could not do it. I would jog ay 6.1 mph then crank it up to 6.7 mph then back down. I did get darn close to making it but I pushed too hard and gassed out. What I need to do is start faster so I don’t need to push so hard later. Had I started at 5.7 to 5.9 mph I would have only needed to make up a little over a minute instead of close to 3 minutes. No matter what it was a good workout.
My day was mello and though I fought hard not to take a nap I needed one. My knees and ankles were sore from the jogging. I had fallen asleep on the couch and when I woke my knees were really sore so I layed down to take the pressure off them. I also took 3 advil. I got up about an hour later and felt much better but still took it easy at thegym for my PM workout. I should have weight lifted this afternoon but I wanted to save the muscle stress until tomorrow afternoon since my wife and I will be going on a hiking adventure. She wants to do a long multi hour hike so I want my legs to be fresh. I would have spent 15 or 20 minutes doing leg presses and leg extensions this afternoon and that would have impacted my ability to keep up with my wife tomorrow.
I was lazy tonight and did not feel like cooking. So I picked up some kabobs. I picked up one each of chicken, lamb and ground beef kabob. We split the meat and each had rice and chick peas to go with our kabobs.
