  • 10K on treadmill in 51:30 (8:17 AP)
  • abs with 3x1 min planks

Ahhhh...back to normal running, life is good!  I hated last week so bad.  I needed today's run.  I really pushed myself because I know I'm better than 9's on the treadmill.  I know this because everyday I run these past couple of months I feel pretty much normal that night.  I mean, I feel it, but I want to feeeeeel it.  I don't want to FEEL it, because I can't workout that hard all the time, but you know what I mean...I just want to feeeeel it. :)  Honestly, this run was thanks to all you runner friends and bloggers who I know push past the mental barriers and valid excuses and feeling crappy or tired or whatever.  It helps me just suck it up and get it done. 

Just for reference, my fastest AP ever on the TM is 8:44 (I just started using the TM for all types of runs this summer out of necessity :)  oh and that AP also tells you how much I have hated the TM...but we are figuring each other out!)

Atta girl. All of it is so true. Sometimes you do just need to suck it up and get over the hurt. Nice run.

Hey nice job on the treadmill running. You are getting fast, way to go. I'm still trying to become friends with my treadmill, I'm glad you are getting it figured out. I hope you have a great day on Sat.
