Ran on the treadmill today because it was so rainy. I don't mean like, "Oh, it's just a drizzle, but I'd rather not run in it" rain, I mean, "Oh my gosh, that's a lot of water" rain. Pouring. No way was I running in it, so I watched movies and ran indoors. I'm not exactly sure of how far I went, because at some point, the treadmill deleted my workout, and I had to start over. But I know I had gone about 1.5 miles by that time, so my total must be somewhere in the neighborhood of 3.2 or 3.21 including what I did after the treadmill did whatever it did. Most of the time I was doing about 12-13 minute miles, but for a while I decided to dip down to 9.5 or 10 (somewhere around there), and I also did that incline thing where the treadmill tilts and you are running on a hill. The highest I did was 1.5, but it still felt pretty steep. Hills do seem seem to feel worse the longer you've been running, don't they? This was my last run before the 5K. It was easier than I expected, but maybe that's because I was running on flat for almost the whole time. Either way, it's the farthest I've ever run before and I am very proud of myself. I'm sooo glad it's not hot anymore. This cool weather is just perfect. I love fall! I hope it's not pouring on Sunday, though! It's not supposed to be as far as I know, but I never trust the weatherman. ;-) Have an awesome Friday, bloggers! |
