What did you do for exercise today?

[EE-BO]

They are definitely brutal! I had a mishap this weekend and scraped a lot of skin off one of my hands. So I cannot swim until it scabs over, nor can I do any exercises where I have to hold a bar with both hands. I think the one legged squats were part of my "punishment" since I am sure there are other things I could have done.

But at least I picked a good week to get hurt. Thunderstorms all week- so I could not have swum anyway, and today instead I had a 2 mile run at a very good fast pace courtesy of the 85 degree weather with a cool breeze.

I am contemplating going further tomorrow at a slower pace. Any runners out there who could comment there? I started running again 3 months ago and worked up to 2 miles at about an 8:30 pace. Today I was on about a 7:15 pace. Is it better to slow down and try for more distance, or keep lowering the pace for now before I aim for more distance? My eventual goal is to get back to my college routine of running twice a week and doing 4 miles in 28 minutes.
