Combo run at the condo overlooking Table Rock Lake. Ran to the fitness center, which is only about 250 yards from here, then hit the treadmill for an hour. Started at 6.3 mph, gradually bumped it up, then did 1.2 miles at GMP before a three-minute cooldown. After running back to the condo, total was 7.15. GMP felt pretty comfortable on the TM, so that's a good sign. Cranked up the overhead fan, but it was still pretty sweaty.
This place is plush. Our condo is a five bedroom patio home. Upstairs, where you come in, has three bedrooms, two full baths, a big living area, an open, huge kitchen and a laundry area. Downstairs has two more bedrooms, including another master and a kids' room with bunk beds, a pool table, another living area and a THEATER. Yes, I said theater. Seats 10-12 in reclining seats, overhead projector onto big wall screen, you can watch TV or DVDs or plug in your PlayStation and play that on the big screen, or plug in an iPod and listen to music through the sound system. Lights dim themselves when you crank up the projector. Rest of the place has big flatscreens everywhere. I figure there's more $ worth of TVs in this place than I have earthly possessions. No wonder Pupe's using a whole week's worth of timeshare points for three nights in this place. You could do a family reunion in this thing no trouble.
The fitness center, by the way, takes up the bottom of a similar place up the hill. Plenty of equipment, maybe too much; it feels a bit cramped. I had the area to myself last night. Could do a 13 with an interruption, since the TM has an hour limit, but I don't know if I can get psyched for two hours in there. Think I'll just do intervals in there tomorrow and do a long run in FS Thursday.
Scott had bunion surgery yesterday, so he's pretty hobbled. Cast, crutches, etc. He won't be going downstairs, that's for sure. I think he came up here to get out of Tammy's hair for a few days. |
