It was my cousin's daughter's 9th birthday today so we all pitched in for a celebration at "Endless Food and Fun." It's like "Chuck E Cheeses" and "Dave and Busters" all rolled into one because there was stuff for both adults and kids. Food was a buffet line so there was great restraint coming from me. I chose to load up on rice, bread, and plain pasta so I can get my fill of carbohydrates for the weekend (tomorrow is a 12-mile run).
Anyways, I just finished 3 mile run on a treadmill. I was going for 4 miles until I got hit by a sharp and painful stitch above my left abdomen at the 2.90 mile mark. My time, though, is decent for a tempo run but yesterday's was better. It might be because running outside allows me to experience the freedom and joy of true running, rather than the feeling of confinement to the monotony of a treadmill.

do u run on the treadmill with music on or tv or...? I find it hard to motivate myself to go on at the gym...
ReplyDeleteBut outside its like u say.. its great
If I HAVE to run on a treadmill, I usually go with TV. I feel more restrained if I am attached to earphones so I either turn the volume on the TV up or turn the captions on so I know what's being said. No matter how good something is on TV, though, nothing beats running outdoors.
