March 21 through March 27

Monday March 21: Weight trained in the early AM.   I did 2 sets of 15 reps of the following exercises: deep squats (at 95 lbs), hops (no weight), bench press (did reps of 8 on this one, at 115 lbs), leg press (at 70 lbs), pull downs (did reps of 8 on this one, at 100 lbs), power press (with 20lb dumbells), sit-ups at steep incline, step ups (with 25 lb dumbbells). Overall felt good.  Took Recoverite afterwards.

Did not run my scheduled 6 miles today. There was severe wind in the area, and it was kicking up some nasty dirt, debris, etc. into the air--none of which I had any desire to breath in.

Tues. March 22: Did speed work at the local track. First time I've done speedwork in quite some time.  Ran four 400 meter sprints. Times were: 1:09, 1:11, 1:13, 1:13. I also walked a 400 in between each sprint. About as much fun as a hard kick to the shins!  Took Recoverite after the run. For more info on the run, click here.

Wed. March 23: Did 6-mile run at local park. Upper/inner hamstrings still sore/tender. Ran a decent time: 7:45 avg over the 6 miles. Mile splits of 7:39, 7:21, 7:31, 7:51, 7:59, 7:55. Avg. heart rate of 166 bpm, so I was probably working a bit harder than I would have liked for the output. For more info on the run, click here.
