Total Distance
3.00

Ok, I rode my bike to work and back, a total of seven miles. Then I ran on the treadmill while I was still at the gym. I did a 5.5, that is just slightly under 11 minute miles. I got board of going slow so I increased the incline up to three percent. That made it challenging enough for the moment. I threw in a bunch of ab workouts on the power plate to top it all off.

Do not increase the incline even if you get bored. And do the run outside if you can. If the pace starts feeling too dull, accelerate to a good sprint pace for 10 seconds then ease off. Make a particular effort to not skip days no matter what. Learn to run outside under inconvenient circumstances. Usually if you get up before the start of your day and get your run done there will be very few activities that would compete for your running time.
