Another Treadmill Run, Again

once again i procrastinated until i had to run on the treadmill. i was up this morning at 3:45am to see an emergency and worked until 1pm then came home to try and rest. when i got home i felt dead, like a zombie, when i woke up i felt worse. finally i ate, then cut my hair, snapped some green beens, then ran 4 miles. i started out with an incline at .5 and left it there the entire time. however, i started out at 6mph and after the first 1/2 mile i increased the speed by .1 miles per hour at every tenth of a mile until i got to 7.7 miles per hour. then i had to back down to 6.5mph until i got to 3 miles and then i slowed to 6mph. i finished the 4 miles in 36:39, a pace of 9:10, pretty fast for me. it felt like a really good workout. thought of the day: meant to bring this up earlier, but forgot. the gym that i joined has tvs to watch right in front of the treadmill i like to use. however, they have about 4 channels, at least one always has cartoons. they do have ion channel, which i can tolerate, but when i am watching the tv it will have periods where it just freezes, very often. beginning to think i shouldn't have joined the gym. i have ran a couple of times there, but i can't even enjoy the tv, the one little extra bonus of going to this gym. i know that i have the minimum tv package, but i still get 20 channels and can usually find something on to watch. and i know that what i paid for a yearly membership could easily pay for my minimum package. to think of it, i could have not joined the gym and upgraded my tv package and probably been happier, probably wouldn't have run near as much lately though. oh well, i guess thats just the way it is.
