Runner’s diary, Friday

Man, am I sore. I ran three fast-paced miles this morning on the treadmill — the weather is starting to get warm enough to head outside, but it’s not quite there yet — and followed it by some pretty strenuous weight work for the legs (walking lunges, dead lifts, etc.). I will be paying for it tomorrow, but hope to see the positive benefits in my times as I go forward.

Time today, by the way, was 25:09 (8:23) with splits of 9:05, 8:16 and 7:48.

No music today because the iPod ran out of juice. I was forced to listen to the best of the ’80s on the gym’s sound system while watching MSNBC with the sound off (sometimes this is the best way to watch it).
