It was a bit rainy, so I stayed inside to watch NFL. It's getting to be the time of year to become acquainted with the new TM. I did 7-8-7-9-7-8-7 mph each for 1 mile. The faster miles felt good. My legs haven't done that for nearly 4 weeks. One of the disadvantages to running inside is not having anywhere to blow my nose. The world is my Kleenex, but not inside the house. I had to stop once to track down some TP. All that remained was the square with glue on it at the very end of the roll. I ended up washing my face. My old TM is for sale on KSL for $100. My daughter is selling it, cuz she doesn't have any money. 5 people have called, but nobody has come to pick it up yet. I just checked my shoe manager, and I am incredulous that I ran 1090 miles on that thing. It doesn't seem possible. The more I think about it, I guess it's possible. 5 seasons of 24, 2 of Prison Break, lots of Survivor, Amazing Race and NFL. I guess the bulk of my winter training for 2 Boston Marathons was on that noisy beast. So the new mill set me back 700 clams. Currently, that's $15/mile. Ouch. I know Tami and the kids have put in a few miles, so that might bring that number down a bit. At least we cancelled the Rec Center membership, so not having that monthly charge for 15 months will pay for the mill. Gosh, this is a long entry. Maybe I'll label it as a race report...
