Looking for new ways to step up my training. Picked up a weighted vest this week, 20 lbs max. Lemme just say, 20 lbs hanging on your body feels a hell of a lot heavier than you reasonably think it should. Ran with it for the first time tonight, only 6 lbs to start, not trying to kill myself after all. Wow, did that bring down my run time. (I'm pretty sure a snail passed me.) Went from a comfortable 10:30/mi to 11:30/mi for a total of 3 miles. But it's just a start. My hope is that I can get more comfortable with the vest and then *crossing fingers* my run time without the vest will increase. We'll see how well my theory plays out...
