Okay, 2 days in a row here ;). I thought this morning's treadmill run was going relatively easy, like yesterday's. Lifted the cardboard to check the mileage, and noticed the incline was set at 0%. OOPS! I always leave it at a minimum of 1.5% to more closely mimic outside running; I must've accidentally pushed the wrong button during yesterday's run. Well, I put it back up to 1.5% and yep it felt harder again!
(I normally cover the front display on the treadmill with cardboard because I can't stand all the red lights, and then lift the cardboard occassionally to check time/mileage, etc. Next time my workout seems especially easy, I guess I'd better check the incline!)
Still felt like I would've liked to run longer. But had to time my run between my kids leaving for school, and my getting ready to catch a bus that comes only every 1/2 hour. At least a 3 mile run is better than no run at all, which was a rut I fell into during most of Oct, Nov, & Dec. |
