TREADMILL GAMES


After the snow yesterday, My longer run had to be inside ont the treadmill. My goal was 7 miles. It was going to be a long time on the treadmill. The entire workout becomes a series of games and bargains. First game is increasing the decreasing the incline for 10 min. Next section , I drop the speed and increase the incline. At 30 min., there is a pit stop break. I opt to change tredmills to the other side of the gym. The next section is alot of speed changes followed by concentrating on form and stride. Finally I keep increasing the speed to end at 6.0 mph.

It felt like I was on the treadmill for hours but it wasn't. I signed up for a May half marathon so I need to get some additional running miles on the books.

Tomorrow is masters swim at 7am. It will not be a late Saturday night.

Waddling to relax..................
