I completely wimped out and did not go on my morning run today (too cold and too tired).  However, I did get in some nice speed play on the treadmill after work.  Following a 0.3 of a mile warm-up, I completed four miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 9.2 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 11.2) in a time of 23:38.  I then cooled down with a 0.7 of a mile at marathon pace.  Overall a 6:10 pace and I felt pretty good.

In regards to my daily non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and a 100-second wall sit.

5-minute Plank Challenge:  2:20 and 1:00 side planks both left and right

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Daily Challenge:  apple, 2 salads, a bowl of mixed veggies, and a lean chicken sandwich
