Personal best interval workout for me today!!! After riding my bike to work this morning, I headed straight to the gym for my interval workout. I completed six 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 personal best time of 35:06 (decreased the time by slowly decreasing the speed from 11.2 to 9.2 between fast and slow half miles)! Then I did a 0.2-mile mile cool down at marathon pace.

Besides my even 31.0-mile bike ride to and from work, my daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 60 (50 lbs) curls.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 30 second plank and side planks

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge: oatmeal for breakfast

Night Sleep Time: 9.50	Nap Time: 0.00	Total Sleep Time: 9.50

Isn't there a way to show your bike ride on the Blog? You seem to rack up a lot of miles.

Hey Preston, if you have the tri template, you can track your bike mileage.

Allie, thanks and I felt great on Wednesday, but Saturday was one of my toughest and worst runs in a while. In short, after I crossed my imagery finish line outside of Liberty Park, I just leaned up against a chain link fence gasping for air. The dust and tar fumes from Foothill just killed me. Are you kidding me, UDOT better finish up their Foothill work this week! In the meantime, happy running!
