Well went for a good hard workout this evening. Did very hard ab workout as well as chest (incline and decline press, pecdec), shoulders (rear delt machine, shoulder press and lateral raises) and legs (leg press, curl and sitting calf raises). I’m just exhausted now, should sleep real well. This year for my marathon I’m going to be in the shape of my life. Just have to say healthy, no injuries and keep the legs strong.

Well still recovering from what I had on Sun and Mon so didn’t want to push hard at all. As you might have read I couldn’t finish my 11 mile run on the weekend and had to cut it down to 9 miles.  Following that my legs hurt so I took the required two days off (even though I only wanted to take one). Today I figured I’d add a mile to the run but keep the pace right down so I did a nice and easy 5 mile run. Was very relaxing, resisted temptation to up the pace and just kept it very easy. Did the 5 miles in 43:28 for a pace of 8:42 minute miles. After I was done my legs felt amazing. Tomorrow I have an 8 mile run to get in and I’m going to do the same as well as the following 4 miler and probably my long run this weekend.
