I’m not sure why I didn’t just run my 3 miles and be done with it. For some reason I decided to mess around with different ladders of intensity. I started off at 4 mph for 2 minutes, then 5 mph for 2 minutes, then 6 mph for 2 minutes, then 7 mph for 2 minutes, then back down to 6 for 2, 5 for 2, and 4 for 2. That took me to 1.2 miles, but not extremely quickly, and it was fairly taxing on me. For my second mile I started at 8 mph for 2 minutes, then 7 mph for 2, 6 for 2, 5 for 2, and then 4 mph for the final 2 minutes, giving me an average speed of 6 mph for 10 minutes or exactly 1 mile. Again, it was harder than it should have been. After that I just set it to 4.0 mph and walked for 30 minutes (another 2 miles).

The push-ups were difficult today. That actually surprised me. I had planned on increasing my output from last week, but after feeling the pain today, I decided to keep it to 100 per day.
