Outdoor run/walk at the school track
Duration: 80 minutes
Distance: 5.25 miles
Effort: I walked a mile to warm up, then ran a mile in under 11 minutes. I walked partial laps dong one or two 100 yard runs on each lap. I did 21 of those 100 yard runs. Half of them were sprints and the other half I was working on jogging a fast pace with longer strides.

I was feeling a bit under the weather this weekend. I think it was a mild chest cold. I'd planned for a longer run. My legs were fresh but my lungs were not up to it.

My wife and I signed up for a gym membership at the Y today. She was the one who wanted to do it so that she can participate in their organized exercise programs. She wanted the instruction. Adding me on was just a few dollars more. The facility is nice. It is big, too -- lots of weight lifting end aerobic machines to choose from. It also happens to be conveniently located on my route to and from work. It has an indoor running track . We are now paying for it. I hope that we both make use of our membership.
