So first there was snow, and then rain. Its been a little dicey out there ever since. I've fallen down once, skinned my knee pretty good but other than that it seems to be doing alright. As a result though, I'm sticking to middle of the day runs or running indoors. I actually did 5 miles on a treadmill this weekend. Ugh.
Its awful while in process--the staying in one place part of it annoys me the most I think(it means my elbows sweat. its grossly gross). I only managed to make it to five because my gym has installed a couple of flat screen tvs in front of their cardio equipment, and that old movie about the Jackson family came on VH1 ( this one ) right when I was ready to call 3 miles "good enough". But I needed to get to 5, and thankfully the Jacksons were entertaining enough to get me there (but, sadly, not to make me stay for 6 or 7). I've been slacking lately--I got sick in mid-November and my mileage has lagged since. And my pants are starting to get tight. So I need to buck up and do the miles. I don't know how conceivable it is that I could check a tv schedule before my next long run and try and have it coincide with something watchable, but having something to focus on other than the read out screen on the treadmill is incredibly helpful, so maybe I should give that a try.
