Saturday- 4/11

Running
Really nice day, just a tshirt and shorts (not that I ever wear much more), and got hot by the end.  Still pretty windy, so coming back was much tougher. 

Total ~4.95 miles- 35:08
2x12 15 seconds on 45 seconds off

5 minutes warmup from apt. to Nicollet green way entrance. Started my 12 intervals of 15 second on, 45 seconds off.  I made it to the Dean parkway Exit on the Greenway at 16:15, and took a breather, jogged to the Isles exit, and rested more.  I was thinking about running around the lake or something, but decided to just do another set of intervals.  So I did another 12, and made it just past the exit I came in on, and then ended up being done at the very top of the ramp.  Stopped for a minute, and then pushed back home.

I did one set of this workout in the fall with John, and I remember it being much harder.  I think that this is because he would do the intervals faster than me, and I would stay with him, pushing me harder.  I tried to go pretty hard on the intervals, and I think I did a good job of maintaining the same kind of pace for all of them.  This might have meant that I did not do them very fast, and that the resting intervals were too slow (because they were pretty slow), but at this point in training I think it it was a good workout, despite the speeds I coulda shoulda gone at.

Too tired to do core really, which is ok, cause I've done a bunch this week.

50 pushups- 20-15-15
