Runner’s diary, Friday

Mixed things up a bit today. Did my three miles (actually, a little more) at the end of a workout that included some weights and a couple of new wrinkles — two miles on the stationary bike and 1,000 meters on the rowing machine — that I’ll be trying including in my workout over the next few weeks.

The run, though, remains most important as I slowly train for the 18-mile LBI run in October.

The run: Three miles in 25:36 (3.1, a 5K, in 26:21 ) — a shocking 8:32 pace, shocking because of yesterday’s seven-mile run. I basically decided to leave it all on the treadmill, so to speak.

Today’s iPod selection: Bob Dylan’s Love and Theft.
