What Goes Down Must Come Up

I actually did workout this morning. I did 1 hour of strength training. Here is today's routine:
Pull-ups (60) – 9,7
Sled Uni-press (explosive) (20) – 3 sets x15-15
Cable Squat-Uni (10) – 3 sets x 15
Push-Ups (Bosu) – 3 sets x 15
Pushdowns(Rope)(15) – 20,17,8
Db Curl (10) – 3 sets of 20
Uni Standing Military press (10) – 3 sets x 10-10


After the weights, I ran for 5 miles. It is a strange course; I wish there was a better one, but I run directly from the gym. If I would come home, chances are I wouldn't do the run, so I'm stuck with the surrounding neighborhoods.


Believe it or not, the loop is basically 2.5 miles downhill and then 2.5 miles uphill. It sounds like an out and back only an idiot would attempt, but no... it's an actual loop. Check out the pictures if you don't believe me!


All in all, it was a pretty good run. The sun was glorious and the temperature was perfect. I shed both the hat and mittens within the first mile! Yeah! Spring is coming back. A really great song came on the ipod at almost the 1/2 way point... the point where I am farthest away from the start and the shortest distance back is uphill. mmmbop by Hanson. What a happy song to run to on a sunny, springtime morning! Ok, maybe not a "great" song in the worldwide catalogue of great songs, but a great running song for a sunny day.

Splits? Oh, yeah:
Mile 1: 9:49
Mile 2: 9:39
Mile 3: 9:29
Mile 4: 10:46 Starting to climb mountains here.
Mile 5: 10:21 Still climbing. Levels off at the very end.
Total Time: 50:08
