After a few weeks off, I went back to doing intervals on the treadmill. Speed training is so valuable but it is often so hard to bring yourself to do those workouts. The morning started with a spinning class at 5:45. MD was meting me so I couldn’t ditch it. I didn’t work real hard through the class but I will say that Pink’s video Sober is inappropriate for those under the age of 18. That wasn’t even the highlight though. When was the last time you saw AC/DC’s Shook Me All Night Long video? I need a pair of these cycling shorts (about 2:40 into the video). Perfect for when you have to take a “nature break”.
With a quick change of clothes, it was on to the treadmill. I kept myself sane with an Endurance Nation podcast of one athlete’s planning and execution at IM USA last year. Good listen.
Here is the interval:
1 mile warm-up
potty break
5 x (800 on 3:10, 400 on 2:00)
1 mile cool-down
J-Fo met Mario and I for some strength training after the run but I really only had time for squats, dead lifts, and calf raises. I wanted to be in the office by 9:00. Surprisingly J-Fo only wanted to do pull-ups and curls (for the girls). I’ll try to get another 90 minutes on the trainer this evening to continue to get comfortable on the P3.
Injury Update: MRI on my knee today to see if there is anything causing a pinched nerve. I think it will be clean but it is just to be sure.

I don't think anyone will draft you with those AC/DC tights... Maybe a good race day tatic?
Those "bike shorts" look just like CT's swim suit, much to the dismay of the other fitness swim members at the D-Rec.
Everytime you mention a treadmill workout, I can't help picturing you jamming to music on your headphones like Brad Pitt in "Burn After Reading". Check it out on You Tube.
