Monday run and tidbits
Today I did fartlek running, which is to say that you speed up and slow down randomly with no pace and no set time limit, and it felt great. As it turns out I ran my fastest average in over 5 years. 4.25 miles in 30:47 which is around a 7:14 pace. Felt good and could have gone longer but had to get back to class.
Dad, in case you haven't looked at Jason and my comments on your posting please do so now.
As an aside, I decided to go ahead and attempt to test out of my Bio-Chem II class since I chickened out last semester. The test was last Friday and I found out today that I passed. So today, I officially passes Biochem II, one less class I have to study for this semester. Yippee.

Fartlek, that's funny.
Did two miles this morning at an 8:50 pace and felt okay. I'm going to get a couple of days into these antibiotics before I start pushing again, but it did feel good to get a good sweat going.
I keep a daily log of distance, time, pace, weight, and body fat %. But I graph Monday to Monday because coming off the weekend gives me realistic numbers generally speaking. This morning I was 178 lbs and 18.5% body fat.
So the flu and sinus infection has hurt my running, but has helped with my goals. I'd still rather not have gotten sick.
And congrats on the Biochem II pass. That's got to be a nice class to not retake.
Well done Jason, I am actually gaining weight. BUT, I feel great and my times are improving and my strength is increasing in the weight room. I have been doing good with eating more protein and less carbs and will be patient for about 2 weeks. If I don't see any results by that time then I may seek the help on an endocrinologist and a sports nutritionalist.
My numbers are now 189 and 24%. What gives?
