I hate tapering! I feel so unmotivated that I turn into a sloth! I had every intention of running tonight. Last night, we drove to my husband's brothers house to pick up a FREE treadmill that his wife is "letting us borrow indefinitely." I was SO EXCITED to get a treadmill. Everything worked fine at their house, except the display and the incline. It was set at a permanent incline, but somehow we got everything working there. So we loaded it up and brought it home.
Tonight I was planning 5 miles with 2 miles at race pace, and I thought I would try out the new treadmill. Lo and behold, the incline AND the display were broken again! I got some phone books to prop up the back so it would be flat, but I have no idea how to get the display working. By then, I was so frustrated that I decided to just call it a night. I spent the evening on the computer setting up the Mvelopes system (very cool budget tool-I am determined to quit blowing so much money this year!). Tomorrow I'll just plan on running outside. It was 71 degrees here today! |
