I had a really good run this morning. On my heart rate monitor, it has a multitude of things that you can look at when running. There's a 'ghost runner' that you can set up to a given speed, and you can work on maintaining that pace. This morning was the first time I was able to figure out how to set it up properly (pace is notated in several different ways, mile/minute, mile/hour minute/mile, i wasn't sure which it was). I used it, and ran a pretty brisk pace. I'm not sure if it was that or not, but it was still pretty cool. In 28 minutes, I ran 2.98 miles, but I ended up walking twice on the big hill. The first time, I needed to, my heart rate was going up - it was up to 175, so stopping was good. I probably could have lived without the second bit of walking, but, oh well. But, that would have made up the .02 probably.

I did p90x plyometrics last night. This workout is pretty great. It's a bunch of jumping and leaping stuff, which'll be great for building speed for running as well as overall strength. I'm not pushing the workouts all that much this week, so I wasn't super sore from it. I actually ended up slowing down on a number of them so I wasn't going too fast. One of my big issues is pain in my hips - i guess there's muscles there you don't use that much that I need to build up.

Now I'm debating rollerblading tonight after work. I think i'm going to, it's really really nice out today. But, I'm afraid that if I do, i won't be able to walk tomorrow, or will skip p90x tonight. But, p90x is shoulder & arms tonight, so my legs won't be worked out like last night.
