* Decent enough workout. I haven't been motivated with the one mile runs lately for whatever reason. I'll start off OK, then just stop at the half mile point because I don't feel like doing it any longer. I have been playing a lot of basketball lately, so my cardio should still be OK. I wish I knew why I haven't felt the mile lately because I was going really well with it... hope I get it back soon.
