Today I went to the gym and started running laps around the track -- Daniel was joining me late and I figured he'd be interested in the track, so I plowed ahead even though I didn't feel like it. But I found myself moving at a pretty intense pace -- around 51 to 56 seconds per 1/9 mile -- and feeling comfortable about it. Daniel showed up after 4 or 5 laps and I found he wasn't interested in running (didn't even have the shoes for it) so I finished out the mile and quit. After 8 laps I still felt so comfortable that I really pushed it on the last lap, and I came in at 7:56 for the mile!! That's definitely a personal best. I know it's indoors and on a flat track, but it still felt very cool, considering when I got started a one-minute lap was tough.
After that we did a full 40 minutes on the bike. We also did VKR at the gym, but we had to quit early so we didn't have time for other muscle work. I'm pooped all the same.
Yesterday I ended up walking a mile and a half with my friend (slow pace, though) and working in the garden for an hour (but not all that hard, I guess, because my arms didn't ache last night). No idea what I'll do tomorrow, though!
