The gym, again

Ok so yesterday I went to the gym again.

I am trying to get to the gym 3 times a week normally with a rest in between but the week worked out in a way that I had to go yesterday.

I planned to concentrate on doing a 3mile run again without the emphasis on time, just on getting it done.
I did not really want to worry about the weights side of things too much.

After a 7min light bike warm up I made sure that stretches for most muscles were done and then made my way over to the treadmill.

I put it on manual and just for the hell of it started it quite fast. I ended up doing the 3miles in 21:30 minutes, meaning I ran at 7:10 per mile. Pretty good I though!

My record in the summer was around 20:30 and it has excited me that I am heading back to the same speeds so quickly. I would love to take it sub 20:00 but we will see.

Hopefully I can eventually make my run 4 miles all at around 7mins each.

Even after the run, as I felt OK, I went and did enough weights to make me ache like hell today. All in all it was a good workout leaving me feeling very satisfied.
