It was 100 today, so back to Gold’s Gym after work for my 3-miler. I did my free weights first, then ran my 3 miles. My cousin, Cheryl Salamone, is also a member at the gym, and I talked with her about my running. I asked her which is better: running first or free weights first. She said it was up to the person, and if you’re doing long runs, then it would be best to run first, that way you don’t become exhausted when doing free weights. I like free weights first because then I can exert all my energy into that and treat the run like a cool down. Well, after about 10 minutes on the treadmill, I was whipped, and ran off and on.
Conditions: indoors.
Results: today: 3 miles; total: 21 miles; time: 39:34, pace: 13:11
Thoughts: So, I tried the treadmill again. Didn’t like it. These extreme temps are killin’ my training.
What I’ll remember the most: Hating the treadmill.
