Today: Lots of time in the gym. Tomorrow: Fitness Test

Today I spent 2.5 hours at the gym. I called and reserved a lane in the pool, but I was early. I did a quick 10 minutes on the bike and then headed to the pool. I swam for 30 minutes alternating freestyle and breast stroke on each half of a lap. I got in a pretty good workout and then sat in the sauna for a little over ten minutes. Afterwards, I went upstairs and did a chest and shoulders workout using mainly the machines, but a few free weights. I would have preferred to do all free weights, but the gym was pretty busy. After weights, I went down and ran 3 miles at a 7:00 pace and then did a quick ab workout.

I know my fitness has fallen off some since I've had the foot problem, but tomorrow will show just how bad (or good) it is. I'm running the Fred Lebow Classic 5 Miler in the morning before work. Last spring I did a 5 Miler and finished in 33:44, so I'll see how close to that I can run. The two races are both pretty much the same course, so it should be a decent indicator of where I'm at.
