5 miles today, warmed up with about .4 before taking off. Tried the Galloway method using a 4:1 ratio of running to walking. Interesting approach.

AP 8:22; splits 8:24, 8:09, 8:39, 8:09, 8:28.  AHR: 152; MHR 174.

I was shooting for an 8:30 AP and I guess I hit that OK, although with the walking slowing me down my running bits were in the 7:30s quite often, and my Max HR was up there for one stretch. There were a couple guys running about a 7:45 pace who passed me during my first walk break then I was motivated to catch them so ran faster than I normally would have. I'll have to read more of Galloway's stuff as I want to do things the way he recommends, and I know he's got some specific ideas regarding speed work, mid week runs, and long runs. Beautiful day outside. Ran in shorts & a t-shirt with gloves as my hands stay cold until 1/2 way through my run on a day like this in the high 40s. By the way, I love my Garmin and knowing my true pace all the time.

Ended with 1:00 bicycles, 1:30 plank, and 3X15 pushups. Did 30 pushups this morning waiting for the shower to get hot (my new standard routine - nice way to wake up).
