We all have those moments when we start out running, and think "man, this just isn't my day." In fact I would say I had one of those moments today. I almost gave in to the little voice inside: "listen to your body, if you're tired you need rest." I almost declared it a rest day, got off the treadmill (yes, the treadmill), and walked back up to my office. But sometimes I make the right choice, suck it up, and keep on, only to find myself in the middle of a really good workout. Today was such a day, my friends. I was running intensely and also finishing a 3 day series of upper body and core work, and sweating like a maniac in an indoor, stale gym. Any tension of the day melted away and 4 hours later I still feel great. Tomorrow, then, I can take an easy day, when I had planned to.
Today: 35 minutes speed intervals running:
5 minutes warmup
3 sets of 5 x [45 sec @ pace (set 1 - 7:30; set 2 -7:15; set 3 -7:00) + 45 sec recovery @ 8:30]
with ~2-3 minutes slow jog between sets
~3 minutes cooldown
130 pushups (assorted standard / wide / military press / diamond / decline / one armed)

Excellent blog m'man, have read everything up to the current and will be following from afar. How about a little more detail on the structure of your running - i.e., pace, repeats, yaddayadda?
