My Workout Goals

I am trying to get back up to running 6 miles. My goal is to be back there by the end of March. I am running 3.25 miles right now. By February 1 I am going to push it up to 3.5 miles. After the run, I walk 20 minutes in which I up my speed and elevation every minute. Once I get to 15% grade, I continue to up my speed but start dropping the elevation back. Once my 20 minutes is done, I kick the pace to 8 miles an hour and run another 1/2 mile. By the end of that 1/2 mile, I am up to 9 miles an hour. I feel like I am going to die by the end of that. After that, I hit the bike for 22 minutes. Every 3 minutes I up the resistance. I usually get 5.5 miles done every day. Then I hit the weights. Now, I the only thing I try to increase is my miles I run. I could care less about the rest of it. I do vary my weight workout and try to increase the reps and then the weight. I work on strength and reps instead of bulk. Bulk is something I don't need to add. I added that the most part of my lifting career. Now it is time to maintain and work on endurance. Anyway, this is my routine and workout. I enjoy it and that is all that matters to me.
