running

Today, i broke my distance running record...twice.

My normal workout these days consists of running, followed by a couple of different weight lifting, followed by a shorter run. Well, as of last week I was running for 10 minutes the first time, and 5 minutes the second time, increasing the speed every few days.

Well, this week i decided to knock the speed back down and up the times to 15 minutes and then 7 1/2 minutes, respectively. So today I went out there and ran for 15 minutes, 1 1/2 miles, the first time. This was my first distance record...my previous best had been a meager 1.3 miles. I've never (ever) in my life been interested in long distance running. Then went back and did a couple of different weights...decline sit-ups with weight, bench, and squat (PS jesse that new technique you told me about works perfectly), and then i went back for my cool-down run of 7 1/2 minutes.


Well, 5 minutes into my run I was feeling good, i musta hit my stride or something, so i says to myself, let's go for 10 minutes. 9 minutes rolls around and I'm still stridin', and so I say 15...and then 20, and then 25, and then 30...and I decided to call it quits at 30...but I still felt ready to go another couple miles. Still feel like I could.

I'm ready. w00t.
