Aerobic Builder

Woke up this morning to go meet up with Jon and Bret for a workout. I looked outside and it was an ice sheet! Another crazy ice storm, that is 2 years in a row. So I called Bret and told him I really needed to get a solid workout in. Anyway I opted out and hit the gym.

Workout was 2 mile warm, 8 mile aerobic, 2.20 mile cool. 1% incline on Treadmill

Splits- 5:30; 5:27; 5:24; 5:24; 5:21; 5:21; 5:19; 5:16.

Great workout felt pretty good for entire run. Only felt labored for last 200 meters of the aerobic

Glad I got it in, but at the same time I am about done with treadmill running for workouts. Next time if I have to do it indoors it will be at Weber State.
