Day 44

Good morning. I figured I’d save the good morning for this post since the last post was supposed to be for yesterday anyway.  Today was a treadmill day. Not because it rained out but because I decided to stay up all night long and I overslept. I did not get out of bed until almost 7 am.  Those poor puppies would have messed themselves had my son not gotten up and let them out.

Anyway by the time I got downstairs, fed the puppies and played with them outside for a while, the sun was shining brightly in the sky and I knew the track would be blazing. I decided to instead run on the treadmill. Bad idea. I should have just taken my chances with the devil at the track…

My mind wasn’t right at all this morning for the treadmill. I could only run/walk 1.5 miles before I almost went insane from boredom. I then rode the stationary bike for another two miles before giving up. I wasn’t tired but my mind wasn’t able to handle too much more of all that work and getting nowhere. I do believe that I got a really nice workout because I was soaked with sweat after, but I know I could have easily done more. At least I got a really good stretch afterwards. That’s one benefit of running/walking downstairs in my workout room. Thinking ahead, I know I’m going to have a hard time this winter if I can’t get to that track at least every other day. If I have to run/walk on that treadmill each day for four to five months, I may have to add some padding to the room for when I start banging my head against the walls…

All in all it was a good workout. I feel great and the sun is shining brightly outside so I’m going to enjoy it. I’m going to take my puppies for a light jog down the block to make up for the 1.5 miles on the treadmill. I’m going to take them one at a time though. Goodness knows I can’t handle them both whilst running yet.

Until tomorrow…
