Hot and humid outside... hot and sticky inside the gym. Treadmill miles. I kept it at 5.0 practically the whole time through. I didn't really struggle but i was sweating profusely. I could have ran more definitely but the gym was closing...

Treadmill miles. Very slow... the first mile was at 5.0 mph and I increased the speed slowly. Good run... though I was very sweaty in the end.

The Toms River loop... a short 1x around just before dinner. It was a good run... I actually felt like I could run another loop but of course, grilled meats await, so be'H.

treadmill... I wanted to run a <10 minute mile, so I set the treadmill to 6.0 mph... I did OK... however my shins were hurtin' towards the last quarter mile. I did the five minute cool down as well... slow slow jog.

As an aside, I did my shoulders today... 30 sets.

Corporate Challenge in Central Park NYC. Lots of fun... huge HUGE crowd. The first miles was slow due to the crowd... I finished OK, but the best part was that I did not finish dead exhausted.

treadmill miles. Wow... that's close to a twelve minute mile. Slow. I did stop for a good 4-5 minutes to chat with a fellow gym-rat who approached me while I was jogging... the price you pay for using an end treadmill.

My shins were starting to hurt going into the third mile, so it the chat-break was a welcome relief.

Treadmill miles... slow. I'm plateau'in... help!! LOL, after the run, someone I talk to on occasion walked up to me while in the locker and he commented how 'funny I look when I'm joggin'. Well, I guess I must look funny goin' slow and all... the treadmill is set at 5.0-5.5 mph. But all kidding aside, maybe my gait is what's holding me back... I'm gonna have to get someone to videotape me jog.

3xs around Bayonne Park main loop. Ok run... though I was struggling throughout most of it hahahaa... out of effin' breathe! The rest of my body is fine... it is just my dang lungs.... bad my smoking (I smoked from high-school all the way up to my late 20's).

Abysmal... twice around the Holiday Heights loop in Toms River. Very hot and very muggy... and I ran with my trail-shoes sans padding. Brutal. But it needed to be done. I did the second loop with one minute rests behind 1-3 minute jogging intervals.

Treadmill miles. After the passed few weeks of allergic reactions, daily hives and malaise... I finally mustered the energy to go out -- to the gym -- and jog. I actually fought off the urge to increase my lazy 12minute/mile pace but nonetheless, resisted. I jogged for a total of 50 minutes... a little over 4 miles done. The last five minutes were forced treadmill 'cool-down'.
