Ran 5 w/ Marsha in the pre dawn with the ol' headlamp and 2 more at lunch. It's so foggy and moist today. It always reminds me of Oregon or winters in San Diego. I love how the water condenses on my arm hair. I haven't needed gloves for a week even though the temps are still in the mid 30's. I'm home at lunch getting my treadmill fixed once and for all--rollers and belt replaced. Hopefully this should keep the treadmill going for another 5 years before the motor goes. It has over 6,000 miles on it now. They did a temporary fix while the parts took 6 weeks to arrive. So for the past 6 weeks, I've had to set the incline to 3 or above just to get it to roll. But it would still grab, or stop (mostly while I was doing speed intervals). so I'd go flying over the top. It was freaky to try and run hard & fast, but not know when the machine would quit on me..... (cue the soap opera soundtrack)....I needed that treadmill so much over the past 2 months and it betrayed me. I had to run on the stupid BYU track--around and around and around-- when it was too dark and cold! It let me down. Can I learn to forgive and love my treadmill again? Can I heal this sence of betrayal? Can I learn to forgive? They say time heals all things..... |
