hit the gym at 5:30am. strength 1: strict presses, strict pull ups, sub'd bench presses for push ups, GHD sit-ups, GHD back ext. felt fine. honestly, although I filled the hour, I didn't feel wiped. I think I could possibly handle a workout of this difficulty more frequently. maybe 3 times a week instead of 2. I think when the running plan transitions in 3 weeks (from speed to mileage) and the number of days running changes from 6 to 5, I will try to pick up an additional day in the gym. probably Mon morning, tuesday afternoon, thurs afternoon. this will push my tues and thurs runs to before work. I think i can handle this, although it will be tough on longer mileage days (tues/thurs will go up to 5 mile days). I will need to start getting up earlier, so I can run and make it to work on time . maybe 4:15am or 4:30am instead of 4:45am. too bad my gym doesn't open at 5:30am on tues/thurs. that would really solve my scheduling issue...
ran 3 miles after work, wearing the mask. this went fine, although slow. I'm not sure if the limiting factor was my cardio or my legs. I felt fairly sore/stiff from the 5 mile "race pace" the day before, and I didn't feel up to running any faster. of course, the mask would have kept me from going any faster anyways. it was nice to run in the sun on a cool day. low 50s, light wind, sun. felt real good.
5/5/14. protein shake. coffee. orange. almonds. beef stir fry, white rice. apple. granola. peanuts. tacos. salad. lots of water.
