LSD Tuesday

Took it indoors today. Did a 32K LSD cone in 2hrs50min.

Lunch Run (yesterday)

Working today , 5K done at lunch. 0.5K warm up , 4K at a 4:50 pace then a 0.5K cool down.

Uphill Run

Always trying to mix it up on the treadmill. Today I ran up hill for the majority of the run. Every K that went by I increased the grade 1% and when I hit 5% i started to go down 1% at a time. Managed to get in 10K.

Getting faster and heavier...doh!

Getting faster and heavier...

• New cruise control for the indoor runs is now a 4:50 pace
• New heavier me , up around 6lbs over last Summer weighing in at 176.4lbs

New Years goal is to get to 170lbs by April. Primary factor that will get me there ... no Beer in the house Jan through March. Not quiting the Barley beverage just going to cut having it at home. Also I make some better food choices ... nothing overboard or crazy just the odd this instead of that thing.

Did a 16K run this eve at a 4:50 pace.

Short Christmas Run

Santa didn't bring me a rest day so I had to hop on the treadmill on my meal period and did a 6K run. 0.5 K warm up , 3.5K at a 4:55 pace, 1.5K at a 4:33 pace followed by a 0.5K cool down.

Lunch Run

5K lunch run today , yesterday I spent the evening Alpine Skiing. My legs asked Santa for a day of rest tomorrow!

33K LSD Tuesday

Its was -18C this morning and I just wasn't up to a LSD in the bitter cold. Took it indoors and managed a 33K LSD at a 5:30 pace. I would prefer to run outside, I find the treadmill can be a little hard on the joints. I mixed up my pace an elevation in an attempt to add some variety to the terrain! Pace was anywhere between 6:00 and 4:17 and the elevation was varied -2 to +4 % grade. I drank 1.3 liters of Gator Aide , ate 2 ginger candies ...not enough carbs! The last 5 K were tough , did 4 of the 5 at a 6:00 pace. Off to Christmas shop now, Alpine Skiing tomorrow.
