I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that.

Went to the gym and did shoulders/tris/abs and then jumped on the treadmill and did 6 1/2 miles in 1 hour. 9:13 pace. It felt really great and very comfortable and just what I needed. I love when I have a nice recovery run that feels effortless. Tomorrow won't be quite as easy with hills at speed group.

Missed you again this morning! We were short some blonde hair runners! lol Treadmills are the bomb! Literally! I'd like to bomb them, but seriously they save my butt in the winter. I hate trudging in snow.

6.5 on the treadmill?? That is dedication! I can not get myself past 2 since I started outside running.

See ya tomorrow!

I think I must be ADHD cuz I want to do weights and can't bring myself to run at home and then go to the gym and do weights. I'd stink the whole gym out with my sweatiness. Sometimes I really like the treadmill. I will see you both tomorrow.

There is an all famous episode lost in archives that Ill have to tell you about but not on here because Ill lose my priveleges. lol They show it on VH1 every once in a while. It actually exists.
