"Here it goes again video" Click here
If you click on the above link you'll see a bunch of blokes having a better time on a treadmill than I did today. Not that I had a terrible time, but they must have had fun making that video. I linked to this from a couple of other running blogs today.
As mentioned, I was on the tready for a 3K warmup and then did 7K total at Tempo pace (3:53/k or 6:15/mile). I broke up the 7k by repeating 1K with 1 min. rest followed by 2K with the same rest. This gave me a mental break as each segment wasn't that long and allowed me to finish the workout feeling good. My feet felt stiff to start, but were loosened up as I got into the meat of the run. I didn't read my workout schedule before heading out today and did forget to do a series of 4-6 strides following today's tempo run. What would Jack Daniels say?
It was nice getting this quality run done early in the morning at the gym, so we can head to the lake today, and I don't have to feel like I have my run hanging over me. I'm taking a rest day tomorrow, so I've got a full 48 hrs. between runs.
There's also the Blackberry festival street party tonight in town. I'm not sure I'll go, but we (the family) just might.

"Bunch of blokes?" What are you talking about, The Beatles? I didn't see you at the Blackberry festival so you sort of lied about that. Can't you dedicate some of your blog to "walking with a limp?" What, we're not good enough for the running blog? That's descrimination.
