.25/25 Workout

I have been feeling so lethargic these last few days and I believe it is because my beer-to-water ratio was skewed towards beer. So I am focusing on drinking more water and not any beer for the next few days so I can rehydrate and hope to get my energy level up. This is, of course, all based solely on conjecture but I shall see what happens.

I opted for a quick run/cross-train day where I ran a quarter-mile then did 25 squats  - so a .25/25 workout. Instead of just one mile as done in the past I said to myself "Do 2." And so I did just that, increasing my pace by 0.3 mph each lap. I started at 6.0mph and worked my way up to 7.5mph then came slightly back down. Laps 6 and 7 were the most difficult. Total Workout: 30:40 2.5 miles (2.0 miles running; completing the warm-up and all squats in 27:15).

.25 warm-up
.25 at 6.0mph then 25 squats

.25 at 6.3mph then 25 squats
.25 at 6.6mph then 25 squats
.25 at 6.9mph then 25 squats
.25 at 7.2mph then 25 squats

.25 at 7.5mph then 25 squats
.25 at 7.2mph then 25 squats

.25 at 6.9mph then 25 squats
.25 cool down

Then I did 100 crunches in 4 sets of 25. Then I stretched. Then I made sure to drink a good amount of water and no beer.

New Miles: 2.5
Total Miles: 180.5
Miles Remaining: 1319.5
Weight: 140.4
