Behind Again, but not on Running
i know you are worried but i am only behind on blogging. i have added a gym membership and a treadmill to my training and i will say i think 3 of my last 4 runs i would not have done if i had not had them. i have also added a partial p90x workout to my running, for now. that is taking up a little extra blogging time. so monday i was lazy for most of the day, more tired than lazy i say but didn't do much in the morning and i got up and started doing some stuff around the house and then realized i did not have much time before my 6pm Bible study here at the house (which everyone is welcome to attend). so i hopped on the treadmill and ran 4 miles in 37:24, took a shower, studied The Bible, then did my p90x, which was an hour and 43 minutes of back, legs and abs. not so smart after running 4 miles a little earlier. tuesday i was on call. i got to the house ate supper, changed clothes and got a call to go in to the clinic to see a patient. when i got home it was midnight and i thought to myself, "self, if i am going to 'bring it' i have to bring it tonight as well." so i did 58 minutes of shoulders and arms. tonight i got home late because i had to help someone haul some equipment to my house and then i ate. i watched a little tv to let the food settle and a couple of weeks ago that would have been it. but since i have a treadmill i hopped on, did 4 miles in 38:19 and went right into p90x for 47 minutes of a core workout. tomorrow night i have a meeting right after work so i will try to run at the gym during lunch, which also helps me not to eat as much. but if i don't do that i still can go to the gym after the meeting or come home to the treadmill.
thought of the day: i do like having the option of the gyn treadmill or my own treamill to get runs in that i might not otherwise, but i am worried that it is making it too easy not to hit the road. eventhough i do like running on the road better, it seems to go by fater when i know which objects are at certain mile markers and i know where i am, it just seems to go by faster than watchin dvds and constantly looking at how many hundredths of a mile i have gone since i last looked. i do like my treadmill, it seems pretty nice so far. if nothing else i at least want to do my long runs on the road and would like to do 3 out of 4 runs per week on the road, but at least i am getting the runs in. i have done 6 of my last 6 scheduled runs. hope to keep that streak going.
PS Jeff, Jeff, where are you? haven't seen any blogs lately.
