Thursday Threesome

5K on the treadmill. specifics later.

Workout came later in the day and I was running out of time so I squeezed in a quick 5K run on the treadmill. I know Alan's gonna give me some grief for not running outside so I'd better explain that I tend to run longer distances outdoors and didn't have the time for it today. Also, it's easier for me to wimp out and jump off the treadmill than maintain my pace during the last exhausting miles back to the gym. ;-)

I ran an 8, 7, 6.5 minute mile pace again. I cooled down for 5 minutes then spent another 15 stretching. It was the same as Tuesday. My calves are still sore but I focused my stretches on that area.
