Today is a beautiful day out 33 degrees and sun is shining. However the sidewalks are still snow and ice covered and the roadsides are narrow due to the snow and slush. Sooooo another day inside on the treadmill. Slow and steady again for 3.5 miles and I didn't even look at the time but I am thinking about 45-50 minutes.
I found that if I don't look at the time or mileage on the treadmill I do better, mentally that is. So I placed the IPAD over the screen so I wouldn't continually look at the progress. I turned on HGTV and started running. I think it was about 10:10. I was determined not to look until 2 commercial sets had completed so that was about 20 minutes. I was at 1.3 miles...I think. So I didn't look again for another 15 minutes...it was at 2.7. I kept going until I thought I had maybe hit 4 miles...I was at 3.37....UGH so I decided to finish to 3.5 then go outside and run my mile loop.
It was so refreshing outside... but quickly had to come back in for sunglasses. I bout a cheap pair of sunglasses the other day to run in. Glad I did.
I am kind of worried about the 10K this weekend with my longest run lately being 4.5 miles and most of it inside and slow. I will be curious to see how I do.
I needed to try out my new running pants today to make sure they would be ok for this weekend. I HATE it when my pants don't fit right and I have to keep adjusting them throughout my run. These are a size M...yay...and they fit great...no adjusting needed today. :-)
