Fitness Level 1.0

Dreary evening so opted for a run on the treadmill. .25 5.0mph warm-up in 3:14. Then reset the treadmill and started my workout from 0.0.

1.0 mile @ 6.5mph (9:13 mile pace) 1% incline
.1 @ 5.0mph
1.0 mile @ 6.5mph (9:13 mile pace) 0.5% incline
.1 @ 5.0mph
1.0 mile @ 6.5mph (9:13 mile pace) 0.5% incline
.1 @ 5.0mph
.7 @ 6.0mph (10:00 mile pace) 0.5% incline
.5 @ 5.0mph semi-cool-down

.5 @ 4.1mph cool-down

My goal was 3.0 miles at pace which I did and then followed-up with an extra mile for the heck of it. 4.0 miles in 38:26. Then jogged and walked another also for the heck of it. Looks like I may have crossed over into the "I like to workout" side. I think this may qualify me for Fitness Level 1.0 so I am going to go ahead and assign myself a new fitness level. I am Fitness Level 1.0!

Total Workout: 5.25 in 55:00 615cals

Then did roughly 200 crunches; 100 on ground, 100 on the exercise ball with 10lb weights and other arm strength training for 15 minutes including 20 push-ups, including 10 real push-ups. 

Most motivating song: Gaelic Storm "Sammy's Fancy" (repeated 3 times). I came to the realization that I like instrumental music during long runs over songs with lyrics; it allows me to zone out more and wander off in thought which I am pretty sure helps me run better because I sufficiently distract myself from my running effort. Mind off the matter. 

In other news, my sister signed-up to run the Half Marathon for charity! Yay!

New Miles: 5.25
