I Probably Should Make My Blog Public again

We had company this weekend.  Got in a run this morning, but I felt rushed.

"Ran" for a 1/2 hour on my home machine. It sucks.  It's not even really running...

I'm teaching a class now 3 nights a week.  That also sucks...The only good thing is that I should be able to get in a run right after school since my class doesn't start till 6.  I think I want to go over to Mahomet to run the trails there, but we'll see.  I might just run at Parkland since it's closer to school.

I'm guessing on the distance, but I know it's close.  I ran out behind my school.  It was probably unsafe, since the roads I ran on have not been opened yet and I forgot my own reminder to bring my cell phone.

I'm probably going to run there again tomorrow.  The one good thing about my class is that I have free time between 3:30 and 5:00, so I can run outside while the sun is still out. 

The weather was nippy, but sunny, probably in the high 40s.  Since I was adequately bundled up, it felt nice.

My pace was okay, but I did get bored 1/2 way through.  I need a running partner...

I finally joined the gym, so I'll be working out on a treadmill for the next 3 months.  Ugh.

I did 5 miles at varying inclines and varying speeds.  I used the interval function on the treadmill and then increased the pace when I was at 0 incline.  My uphills were always at 9:13 pace.  The 0-incline speeds varied.  The 5 miles took me roughly 45 minutes.

I did 2 warmup miles at 9:13 pace and then 2 miles at 8:30 pace (I think).  Then I cooled down at 9:13 pace.

My ipod ran out of charge so I was bored watching a t.v. with no sound.  No closed captioning either.  Blech.

The good thing about the gym I joined is that they offer free classes.  I'm looking forward to doing some core classes.  We'll see if I can work that in.
