I went to bed last night thinking I would meet some of the running group at 6:30 to run 10 miles, if it wasn't snowing. I didn't set my alarm because I always wake up around 5:00 or 5:30. Well, guess who didn't wake up until 6:15. I figured it would be too much of a rush to get there in time. Plus, it looked cold and a little windy outside, so it was easy to talk myself into staying home and just running on the treadmill. I ended up having a nice treadmill run. After the initial warming up, which takes like 30 minutes, I was able to increase the speed and run fairly fast for about 20 minutes. I varied the pace throughout, which is always a fun way to do it, so the treadmill doesn't get boring. Then it was off to do my first real Christmas shopping this year. We had fun at Best Buy, Costco and the mall. Missed all you guys I could have run with this morning, maybe next time? |
