3 Miles + Cross Training

I switched it up today because I wanted to get some weight training in today. I basically want to strengthen the muscles in my legs to help prevent injuries. Right now I've been having a nagging calf that keeps coming and going (It's gone right now). Hopefully a regular weight routine will help alleviate that.

Well anyway I ran the 3 miles pretty fast. It looked something like this:

Mile 1 7:23
Mile 2 6:42
Mile 3 6:36
Total Average Pace 6:54

Boy was it hot and muggy. I was dripping after just 1 loop(~3 miles).

For cross training I did squats, leg curls, and toe raises. Very light weight, with a lot of reps. The trainers were looking at me like "Man, don't  you want to put on some more weights?".
