Cycling 25:00 [3]
Strength/Flexibility 20:00 [3]
Running warm up/down 8:00 [2]
Running tempo (treadmill) 40:00 [5] 10.0 km (4:00 / km)
New PR for 10k, but barely, edging out my previous mark of 40:03 set in the spring. Nice to get in a solid tempo run at the Y. The crazy thing is that I was feeling great physically and felt that I could go even faster (39 minutes perhaps) so this is a big psychological victory. I feel I might be starting to break out of the physical/technical plateau that I have been mired in for the last 1-1.5 years. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come and I will continue to improve over the winter/spring. As long as I eat my wheaties and do my intervals I see no reason why I can't get a 10k time in the 37-38 minute range before JWOC.

(sick)
got sucker punched by the flu today, totally didn't see it coming and then it knocked me out. tried to tough it out and go to work, but only lasted an hour before i had to go home. hadn't really been sick (other than too much alcohol/minor food poisoning) for 4-5 years. feeling a little better now, hopefully i can sleep it off and feel better tomorrow.

Cycling 1:23:00 [3]
