Back on the Treadmill

Looks like I'm not doing anymore outdoor runs this week. Boo.

To be honest, I don't think I could bear another day so soon of running with legs weighed down by soaking wet pants, the wind blowing rain directly into the small hole I left myself in my hood, and freezing afterwards drenched with sweat and rain. It was definitely an impulse run.

Today's run went well. I was due to run 3 intervals of 9 minutes walking with 1 minute of walking. The first interval went smoothly. The second, I found myself counting down each minute (59... 58... 57...). I took a longer walking breaking after that interval (3 minutes total) and ran 7 minutes for the last interval.

2.52 miles in 30 minutes.

Tomorrow's run is supposed to be 2 10-minute runs and an 8-minute run. EEK!

A Frigid, Spontaneous Run

Today was supposed to be an off day. But I had a lot on my mind, and I (surprisingly) felt the itch to run outside to clear my head -- in the 26 degree weather.

I mapped out a 3-mile road with several inclines near my house, and went for it. Running at a slow pace, I ran 0.7 mile, walked 0.1 mile, ran 0.4 mile, then walked a mile back home.
