Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

I ran in India today on the hotel treadmill.  I have no idea how Tom did 10 miles a day when he was here - it was a sauna.  I really do not think that I have ever sweated that much EVER!  I was dripping wet.  It was a good run and when I converted the kilometers over to miles I was surprised it was 5 miles.  I have no idea on a pace but it felt rather quick  5K of it was in less that 25 min.   I followed up with 10 min on the stair stepper and 10 min on the bike.  More treadmilling tomorrow.

 I noticed that my the banner advertisement changed to an Indian related ad.

Happy Running!

I ran on the treadmill again.  I did hill work to make it feel like a quality workout. I had a quick bathroom break which helped break up the monotomy.  I have no idea how so many of you run so much on the treadmill.  I am asking again about running outside, even though I know the answer will be the same.  Again, so much sweat.  The only other time I have been this wet running was in the SGM - I am a mess when I am done.  I also decided to start counting animals I see out the window - They are in the road or crossing the street.  Today 5 cows - 2 black, 2 brown, 1 white; 1 white pig; 1 black dog - almost got hit by a car.  We will see what tomorrow brings.

Happy  Running!

More treadmilling today. I really did not want to go but I told myself today could be an easy day and do 5K and if you want to stop you can. It is amazing how changing the perception of things makes it easier. I felt great and took it pretty easy for the first 20 minutes and then started picking up the pace a little, keeping in mind that I will do some speed work tomorrow.  I ended up with 10K which makes me really happy, but I am going to be very late for work. The average pace was probably around 8:50 (not very speedy at all)  I did not realize the time or I would have stopped a while ago.  Glad it was done. Glad I at least get to run, even if it is on a treadmill.  Sightings from the window:  1 cow, 1 pig, 1 motercyle with a Dad, Mom, Child and infant; First sighting for me ever of a Dad, Mom and twin infants on a motercycle.  I will try to post a picture from another trip so that you can see all the people on the motercylces later.

Happy Running!

No run for me today. I ended up with a 15 hr work day yesterday and then got back to the hotel and slept for 7 hrs - YEAH!  That is by far the longest stretch of sleep that I have had since I left.  It was so nice but my body realized how tired it was and is still dragging.  Today is probably going to be more of the same but hopefully I will get back before 4 am.   No time yet to post the picture, hopefully I will get some downtime later today.

Happy Running!

Another treadmill run.  I worked 15 hrs again yesterday but didn't sleep well so I was up in time to run.  I wanted to do a speed work out today with a 5K about race pace.  I did a 1.5K warm up, followed by a 5K run and then a 1.5K cool down.   I completed the 5K portion in 23:11.  So if it had not been on a treadmill and it had been a race it would be a PR.  I am pretty happy about that.  I had no idea of my pace per mile but I hated the last 1.5 of the 5K portion and wanted to quit so I knew I was working hard.  I could not get the pictures to post, so here is a link to my family blog and the pictures are there.  Enjoy!

 Happy Running!
