I did a slow 4 mile run after working out with resistance bands and perfect pushup thingys.

I did 30 minutes of strength training before a 4 mile run.  I worked my chest with perfect pushups and then my back with resistance bands.  I also did 6 exercises of abs.  I did all of this in a circuit fashion to get my heart pumping.  Then I did a slow 4 mile run.

I set out for a 5 mile run and forgot to start my watch so I have no time to enter.  It was only in the 90’s so I’m sure it was better than my regular runs.  I also did a great ab workout and started working on my diet more.

Today I was incredibly tired but I decided to do a 4 mile run anyways. It was slow and hot (again) and I finished with 130 pushups and 170 ab repititions.  Tomorrow I am hoping to do another bike ride.

I did a run to get myself used to running after cycling and to push myself a little further.  Next bike ride I will break 20 miles and 2 miles afterwards.

I did a slow 75 min cycle and then a 15 min slow run.  I was sucking wind coming back into the wind and uphill.  I need to dedicate myself more to cycling becuase I am failing at it.

I ran 4 miles in the 102º heat.  I felt good but I wasn’t in the mood to push it so I took my time.  This is the most miles I have run in one week in a long time.  14.26 miles.  I plan to do more next week.  I am still not getting two bicycle rides in a week and I really need to work on that the most.  Hopefully this week will be less stressful and I will find the time.

I worked until 4am and stayed up with the new baby until 5am.  I was up by 10 am to run errands so my morning workout got postponed and shortened.  So I completed a 3.1 mile run in the 105º heat.  I am so looking forward to the winter.

I ran 1 hour on a treadmill at an average pace of 7.16 miles per week.  I ran 7 miles an hour for the first 30 mins and then alternated between 7 and 8 miles per hour for the last 30 mins.  This was after a quick circuit workout for my lats and abs.  I felt like I could have gone on longer at that pace so I feel good about it.   The run was a little longer than I will have to go for my PumkinMan Triathlon in October.  Hopefully the weather will cool down so I can run outside more.

I did a quick 15 min circuit workout to work my abs a little and my lats. I started with stiff arm pulls downs for 30 reps, then 12 dips, then 12 pullups (unassisted), and finish with 15 leg lifts.  I did this circuit 3 times with 30 second rest between each round.  After this workout I ran for 1 hour.
