Whew, the days just slip away from me sometimes. Despite the best of intentions to do yoga or cross training on Tuesday or today, TuTh ended up being rest days. Dissertation stress took over my intended work outs.
Wednesday I did a maintenance run on the treadmill. I think I'm turning into a TM runner. The temp in the gym is much more comfortable and my body could use the training at a consistent pace. When I run outside, I just run at what feels comfortable. Considering the heat, that's been a slow jog. On the treadmill, it forces me to a steady pace the whole time, whether i want it or not. I'm amazed that despite running or walking nearly every day my pace has dropped significantly. Running at a 6.0 pace was hard. I alternated between 6.0 and 6.2 every mile or so and it was hard. I was dripping with sweat (even more than running outside b/c of the humidity and the lack of breeze). But it was good, and I'm going to keep at it.
So far, I like this HM training. It keeps me on my toes and I feel like I'm getting somewhere. Even on a treadmill :)
