For my Friday night after work workout was a ghetto renew dreadmill run. Actually, it wasn’t so dreadful as this slog was a 5K and I wanted to be better then my previous 5K attempts of 35 minutes. The Boring Runner has a Freeze Your Thorns Off 5K going on today and I took part in it.
Ghetto Renew had the building surprisingly cool and I didn’t sweat as much as I normally do. Maybe because it was 25 degrees outside. Maybe it is because someone figured out how to change the thermostat. I don’t know, but it sure was nice!
The pic above is post-run. My hair looks surprisingly good for slogging it out on the treadmill for a half hour. We will just blame it on the bad lighting in the building…
Hooray for me. 3.11 in 33:49. That is like a PR for me. Didn’t stop for water, like most 5K’s. Did the 1st mile at .5 incline and 4.9 speed. The 2nd mile, I wanted to really push myself and get done and went 5.0 and moved my incline at -3.0. I inched up the speed at 1.25mile to 6.0 and finished the 3rd mile alternating from 7.0 back down to 5.5, with the incline mostly at -3.0 but did do some of it at +0.5.
Foam rolled the ITs and stretched the calves and quads. Home and now sleepytime.
That will probability be all of my running for Friday/Saturday. The BF has his kids this weekend, and I think a few G&T’s will be calling my name… I also got 4 movies to watch…
Did you workout today? Any exciting weekend plans?
