5K Training: Day 8

Well first of all, congratulations for Kirsten for completing her first marathon in four hours. I love watching the finish line for races, not because it motivates me to run, but because these people have accomplished something amazing, and I enjoy being part of the crowd that cheers them through the end.

As for me, I'm accomplishing less amazing things. Today was a walk/XT day, and since I was running a little behind this morning, I only walked for a mile (17:08 minutes, 3.5/3.6 mph/1 incline) on the treadmill of death. The belt kept getting stuck so it would slow down, then speed up. Eff that. Then I did my normal curls/extensions (30 reps), 50 crunches, 50 cross-crunches, and dumbbell squats (2 sets of 15).

I was a little peeved when I didn't lose any weight last week, but I'm blaming my new training schedule--more working out than usual so my muscles might be big and sore. Hopefully next week will be back to normal.
