Total Distance

4.00

4 TM miles at the Y this morning. Legs are surprisingly sore from yesterday's effort. I guess some lactic acid build up from going at speeds I don't normally see, plus a lack of a cool down from either the 5K or the 1 mile. Lessons learned.

Tough to get the legs going this morning. Ran 1 mile at 10:00 pace, then walked for 5+ minutes, then a couple ladies took the 2 treadmills next to me, to walk (use the track if you're just going to walk!) and talk. How incredibly annoying. It got my juices flowing so I upped the tempo so the mill would drown them out. That plus the increased effort caused me to focus on the TV and running and I successfully avoided their lame conversations (Who needs to hear about some 3rd party woman's hysterectomy at the gym? Nobody, that's who.).

After running I did curls, triceps, and bench, 3X10. Felt good.

I'm never going to complain about all the meatheads in my gym again!

Nice races yesterday! You totally need a little ipod shuffle, they are inexpensive and you can drown out anything you need to at the gym!

Thanks April! I had my mp3 player tuned to the TV, watching SportsCenter, and the darn thing wouldn't turn up loud enough in my ears! I focused and forgot about their conversations thankfully.
