Tonight I returned to the gym. I have decided to not just rely on running and swimming and spinning to shape my body. I think weights are a key ingredient. I forgot tonight, but for future gym attendences, I will also work on key core exercises for my swimming.
Tuesday nights will be my gym workouts with my buddy, Mike. He is currently taking a break from swimming and dedicating himself to become a 4 day / week gym bunny! Tonight was back and biceps. Boy its been awhile. We ended up doing weights for just over an hour. I went a little lighter on weights since I am just gradually getting back into it and want to be able to lift my arms tomorrow.
After weights, our plan was to run for 30 mins (or 3 miles). My foot was still hurting me just slightly, so I didn't want to over do it. I decided to run 2 miles instead and walk another 1/3 of a mile. Although I could have ran at a faster pace, I chose 5.8 which is 10:20 mins/mile.
Also, at lunch today, I bought my new running shoes that will take me to my first ever marathon under 5 hours. Well actually I am hoping it takes me to something more like 4:40. They are NewBalance 857. Let's hope these do the trick with my feet. Here is a picture of them:
