Today's Goal: Easy Run, 4 miles @ 11:31

Today's Workout: Elliptical, 2 miles @ 16:27, level 4
                             Treadmill, 2 miles @ 23 minutes

GRRR!  I have a neighbor who also runs in the mornings and we always try to beat each other to get to the treadmill first.  Today he won, which is why I started on the Elliptical.  Booo. I'll beat him on Wednesday!

In between the elliptical and treadmill I did some chair stepping, 3x15 steps, 3x15 pulses on each leg.  I also did 3x7 man push-ups today.  I'm not quite all the way nose to the ground, but getting better and closer.

Nothing to report here.  I was supposed to run 3 miles yesterday and I didn't because I have been working every night till 1:30.
I am planning on running tomorrow morning though.

In other new: Nick informed me that I am not doing push-ups correctly and says that I need to go lower and try to touch my nose to the ground.  Yeah, right.  I might be able to do one like that.

Well, I was supposed to run 5 miles, but when I got there someone was WALKING on the treadmill.  For like 25 minutes.  So I improvised and did something until I could get on that treadmill.  Then I had to leave because the day must go on after all.  Oh well.
