Wednesday, January 5, 2011 -

AM - 4 miles @ 6:30 mile pace (26:00) and weights.  I ran this run inside on the treadmill and ran 6:27 mile pace (25:48).  Felt a little sluggish for the first mile and then settled in a good rhythm.  Did a session of full body weights in after the run.  I did only do 2 of the usual 3 sets of leg weight exercises because I did not want to be sore for tomorrow fast 400m workout.

PM - 5 miles @ 6:25 mile pace (32:00) and drills.  I ran this outside and was a little tired from the weights I did this morning so I ran this run @ 6:35 mile pace (32:55).  This was off my goal time, but I needed to recover and the slower pace helped a lot.  Got my set of drills in also.  I will soon do a video to demonstrate the different drill exercises I do.

Talk to you tomorrow.
