I was planning to meet with Peggy and Debbie at 6:30am to run for about an hour, but this morning the mattress won the battle. So thank goodness for treadmills, because I don't think I would have run outside later when it was hot. I ended up doing two 5-K's on the treadmill, on a decline, and my times were 21:40 and 21:45. Don't be fooled by those times, I think running is easier on a treadmill, especially when there's a decline. Probably on the road the best I could do on a 5K right now is around 24 minutes. But I enjoyed the workout because I worked up a really good sweat. Is that bad to enjoy sweating? Only in the privacy of my own home. I once read to be healthy you should sweat every day, so today I'm feeling pretty healthy. I think those downhill runs will be good for St. George because that is such a downhill course. You don't feel that way at Veyo, but everyone says it's downhill, so I have to go along with that. PM--I did some hill sprints that Steve wants me to do. Don't know exactly how much mileage I did, but with warm-up and cool-down it had to be at least 1 mile. |
