Runner’s diary, Friday

I tried something different today, to mix things up and try to jumpstart my running. I alternated between running and weight lifting — a mile run, followed by heavy leg work, followed by another mile and upper body lifting and ending with another mile. It was brutal, so it must have been a good idea.

Unfortunately, it was only the second gym appearance of the week because of some changes here (I am no longer the online editor, or not just the online editor; I now have responsibility again for the South Brunswick Post and The Cranbury Press), some freelance work and a new teaching gig at Middlesex County College (more on that to follow).

I’m hoping to develop a rhythm to the week that will allow me at least three weekday workouts on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and at least one other workout at some undetermined point.
