Dreadmillin it

Gotta work the next 3 days, so I forced myself(yes forced - kicking and screaming) to get out to run since there will be no chance of it the next 3. Today was the kind of day that makes you want to lay in bed, watch movies, and eat hot soup. Cool(cold), dark, dreary, blustery weather - I guess it must be Halloween cuz that's the kind of weather that goblins like.. :0
Took off to the gym to hit the dreadmill which was the first in nearly 6 months. Completely against it. No matter how cool it is outside you can bet that it is tropical weather inside. I remember reading somewhere that the average temp of a packed gym is around 80 degrees with the humidity nearly 80% due to "hot, sweaty" bodies. I must admit that today going to the gym was a nice change. My run went great but it took a bit to get in a groove on the TM. I started out @ 5.5mph warmup and gradually increased until I hit my groove around a half mile. The run felt so good that I decided to run intervals. I forgot how good treadmills were for doing intervals/ speedwork.
My run went like this:
m1 - 10:30, m2- 10:00, m3 - 9:13, m4 - 8:45, m5 - 9:32. 5 miles in 48:00(9:36 avg). I jumped back and forth between 5.5 mph(10:54pace) and 7.0 mph (8:34 pace).
Alright.. so maybe I was too hard on TM's and I guess I'll give it another try.

For some reason the comment boxes are not working on some blogs including mine. I tried to comment on a few of you today with no luck. Maybe they will fix it tomorrow? BTW I didn't block any of you.. or maybe I did. Muhaha..
Doing good on the eating this week, just gotta keep it up.
Well I am bummed about "dark" finally moving in. I love the temperatures, but it is dark by 7PM now.. I have been trying to run once or twice a week after I get off work, but it looks like that has officiallly ended. I think it may be time to hit the gym again. Gosh I really dread running on the dreadmill, I mean treadmill. Nothing more exciting than running in place , while smelling hot sweaty people next to you at the gym. LOL! I think I am talking about myself. I get bored very easy on the TM and it seems to mess up my stride. Not to mention, the fashion accessories you have to wear in order to fit in and not look like a dweeb. (LOL - dweeb, I've not said that word in 20 years!) Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice..
Running so far this week 2 runs totaling 7 miles. Probably won't get the chance to run again until Sunday.
I'll leave you all this thought about treadmills.

Stay cool!
