It is no secret that I hate treadmills. I cannot stand to run on them! They bore me and I lose motivation and I slack off. I have a cut off of between 5-10 degrees before I will use a treadmill. Last night, it was much warmer (32) but it was 8:30. Normally this doesn't bother me. I have no problem running in the dark by myself but I was freaked out and decided to go the safe root and hop on the treadmill. I went to the basement turned on the TV and hopped on the good ol' mill for 5 mile run. 4 at half goal pace (7:50-8:00) ..... it was successful...1/2 mile warmup 1 mile 8:00, 1 mile 8:00, 1 mile 7:48, 1 mile 7:48 and 1/2 mile cool down. Hopefully in Arizona I can hold that pace....I am in semi-temper mode! Hope everyone has a great weekend! I am ready to head out to run in 50 degree weather in January!!
Nice job with the treadmill run. You rock!!
ReplyDeletewell speedster! seems like the treadmill works for you! I hated treadmills for the longest time...still do more or less. But they do force me to do speed workouts, with the numbers staring right at me.
