Ran for 30 minutes today. Kept a pretty good pace throughout, was trying to do intervals at 9'30" and 7'30", 60s on 30s off... but the treadmill was my enemy and kept punching up the volume at inopportune times and laying back irregularly, so it was a bit of a battle.
Nevertheless, I got a good 3.4 miles in, average pace of 8'47". Good. And I decided to prime my lungs today, since I was doing intervals. Last time I did intervals, my lungs reacted really poorly so I took one puff of Ventolin before I started. Worked like a charm. I'll keep that in mind.
After my run I did a set of weights. It's surprisingly difficult to do some of the training at the slow pace (2 seconds up, 2 seconds down) that the machines require. I know it could be worse, but man do I feel it.
I like it though. I like to feel strong. I will be grateful for the outdoor experience when it comes time for good weather again... treadmill is not that interesting.
Also, I canceled my flights today... sad indeed. I (idiot) double booked myself for the weekends of the two 12k runs that I scheduled in May and had to knock them off of my schedule. Oddly, though that has been stressful and came with all sorts of stressful ramifications, I am taking the hit fairly well. At least I can say that I've changed in that way. My brain is also getting healthier. I've been doing lots of training in that area, for sure.
