...I wanted to quit!
It's tough to do a workout when you're healthy. When you are under the weather (in my case with crud in the chest) it is extremely difficult.
I had been playing e-mail tag with Billy Shue and Paul Mainwaring to try to get a workout in with them this week yet I just couldn't get it to work out. That left me with my old reliable training partner Precor!
Goal: 5 X 1 mile @ 5:27 pace (11.0mph) and 1 % incline on the treadmill. 1 quarter mile recovery...
Actual: (See above). Somehow...I managed to grind my way through it! I used every kind of mental trick not to fall off the rear of the 'mill. Some people say that the treadmill is not the same as running outside. They would be correct! Nothing is the same as anything else! For me, without a physical body to latch on to, the belt is a nice alternative...
An easy 10 miler this morning, 8 and 6 on Thursday and Friday and then I may jump in a race on Saturday morning...we'll see!
Question: Who was the 1984 Olympic 3000m Gold Medalist?
I've got to say. Mile repeats on the treadmill is not for the faint at heart. That is a fabulous workout. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThanks Meggan...we'll see how it translate to my 8k in the morning!
