• 2 mile run on the 0.5 mile loop
• Man, it's cold and very windy! I really hope race day does not feel this way. But, if it does, I can say that I trained in the weather. And...well...refer to the first diary entry here. I hate excuses, especially when it comes to exercise.

• Earlier morning 8 minute interval run
• 2 mile run on the 0.5 mile loop

Sunday, March 22, 2015

• 2.5 mile run on the 0.5 mile loop

Monday, March 23, 2015

• 2 miles plus an extra....on the mile loop

Tuesday, March 24, 2015

• Dumbbell (DB) Deadlifts - 2 sets of 15 and 20
• Supine Straight Leg Scissors - 3 sets of 60
• Staggered Push-ups - 3 sets of 8 each side. Another set of 4 each side with 4-second holds...making it a strength training day. It's late, and an early morning run would be great.
• And a lot of stretching and hydrating - did I mention that I'm feeling stuffy? Not the right time. But, the run on Monday night felt great. No short of breath hang-ups.

With heart,

Derek
