Wasn’t able to get up early enough to do my run outside today (because it is still hot hot hot) so I admitted defeat and used a treadmill at TJ. Then about two-thirds of the way through, I managed to knock loose what I refer to as the “panic button” (that thing you’re supposed to have connected to you in case you fall off the treadmill, so it’ll automatically shut down) and the entire treadmill came to a halt and I wasn’t smart enough to look at what the reading was in time. Oh well. Treadmills are all approximate any, so that’s just my best guess.
Provided I wake up early enough on Saturday, next up should be a 25 minute run. Yay?

Almost done with the interval part of the recovery schedule! I think I have one more, and then it’ll just be things like “25 minutes” and so on. Slowly but surely getting there.

Took a detour on today’s run to add on the extra 6 minutes worth of running and decided to do so past my friend Randal’s house. It seemed like a great idea… but then I remembered as I was around the bottom of the hills that I had to go back up them. What started as a fun little jaunt turned into some impromptu hill work. Phew! Glad I did it but boy am I beat. (Starting out sleepy/tired/wiped out probably did not help matters. Should have gotten more sleep.)

On the plus side, the weather was gorgeous this morning. On the minus side, managed to trip on a jutting piece of sidewalk and wipe out. *sigh* Tiny scrape the size of a nickel on my knee, but otherwise intact (save my pride).

Forgot to add this in on Thursday; I’d hoped to get 1-2 more in but I had a shindig that started at 7pm, and I got a late start to the run (despite going into work early). No bigs.

One last taper. Honestly I have no real goals for Saturday. No doubt I will still be disappointed no matter what my finishing time is, regardless. 🙂
