Thursday! April 1

April fools day! ha!
i must have woken up 5 times and thought it was time to get up. of course when the alarm went off i didnt want to get out of bed. argh. but had stuff to do ya know!

mainsite rest day.
had originally intended on running a 5k and then doing a little metcon work. wasnt exactly sure what. decided to change that plan

treadmill
1/4 mile warm up shake out

run 6 miles
53:08
set the treadmill at 2%grade and at a 8:50 pace and just ran. covered the display and only let myself watch the wall clock. would have gone for the even hour but had to hit the showers.
picked up the pace for the last mile. worked up to an 8:00 mile by 1/4's. felt i finished strong. the distance wasnt bad. its a mental battle on the treadmill. fight the monotony. definitely easier outside. with the nice weather this weekend going to try to get in a long run on the road. legs felt ok. left knee is a little stiff and the right ankle and heel are much better. want to be careful not to overdo it and fubar them.

did a 5:00 cooldown and then hit the showers.

good am workout. nice to take a day off of strength work. shoulders feeling it from yesterday a little.

happy April fools!
