Yesterday I had a case of the Mondays.  Today I had a case of the Tuesdays, but I forced myself on Treadmill Death March anyway.

Ran outside today.  Experienced the wardrobe malfunction that is customary for me when I run in the winter:  shirts too short and pants that do not sit at my waist, and thus always feel like they are falling down. 

I hate the fashion industry.  Do any women really fit in clothes made for women?  I am long-legged, long-torsoed and high-waisted.  "Tall" pants have a longer inseam, but a shorter rise.  This makes no sense to me.  Why would a tall person's waist be lower in relation to the crotch than a short person?  I'm sure this is done so that tall pants and regular pants use the same amount of fabric.

Anyway, I solved my problem by tucking my inside shirt into my underwear and hiking my pants up.  Sure it made my ankles cold, but it worked out okay.  I just have to remember that I shouldn't look in the mirror before I leave for winter running.

Back to the treadmill.  A TV would make treadmill time so much easier...

My right thigh was bothering me during this run, like one of those deep kinda pains.  Nothing probably, but it didn't disappear as I warmed up like most things tend to do.

Ran in the morning. Did some impromptu intervals. 3 miles warm up. Then 1 mile @ 7:40ish pace. Then a mile easy, then 1/2 mile fast with about 1/2 mile easy. The 1/2 miles fast were 3:50, 3:38, 3:36 and then, after 1/4 mile easy, a 3:40 or so 1/2 mile. I felt pretty good about the pace.

It was colder and windy. It took me a few miles before I agreed with my own decision to wear shorts.
