5 TM miles at the Y once again. I thought I could do the same workout as yesterday but my legs were not having it. Warmed up for 5 minutes at 6.0, then bumped up to 7.5 & 1.5 incline. At 3 miles I took it down to .5 incline and was happy for the break. At 4.3 I bumped up to 8.6, at 4.5 I moved to 9.3, and at 4.8 finished at a 10.0. 

Did 2X60 planks, 1X60 and 1X30 seconds bicycles (couldn't quite get to 60 seconds).

At lunch, for some crazy reason I went BACK to the Y and did Boot Camp. Nothing like 2 showers in 5 hours at the same gym. With my luck, today's version was partners - 1 does the workout while the other runs. And of course, lots of legs. I'd already had my workout today - what was I thinking? I'm sure I'll be glad later. Right? I think I'll sleep well tonight, after our Scout meeting. And after watching the funny Wednesday night shows.
