Today was my day to play gym rat. And what a lovely couple hours it was. I even put in some speed work in on the treadmill, which is oh so painful for me. I pretty much hate it. But I thought it would be a good idea to run at the gym – kill 2 birds with 1 stone, so they say (though I have no reason to kill a bird at all).
Ran 3.2 miles on the treadmill, with my bursts at a 7.3 pace. That is really quite remarkable for me, even though my bursts are only 65 seconds. Believe me. This is a vast improvement. And I hardly do speed work at all. So it seems that little work goes a long way, as I’ve been told, with speed work.
On another note, a much brighter note, my 3 boys presented their Christmas gift to me early. It was a camera! It’s charging now, getting ready for tomorrow’s run (If I can drag myself out of bed after a few glasses of wine tonight . . . times are tough!)
