Was having a lie-in this morning because I am going to the Seattle Interactive Conference today... which means I didn't have to leave the house until 8ish. But then inspiration struck: I could squeeze in a little run!
So I popped out of bed, threw on some running gear, and headed downstairs to the treadmill.
Sometimes I dread running, especially if I have missed a few workouts, but this morning went really, really well. I wasn't particularly fast or anything, but the running felt natural and easy. Really great to feel so relaxed on a run.
The only problem I was was that my treadmill goes into "cool down" mode after 35 minutes of you hit the quick start button. Oops. Once it goes into cool down, you can't add time. So when I needed an extra few minutes for my real cool down, I had to march on place while the program reset.
Still, it was a great little workout, and a good reminder that I am always happier for having worked out!
... Even if I did have to run out of the house with soaking wet hair....
Tomorrow I am going to the SIX a.m Body Revolution class. Wish me luck!
Speaking of treadmill running.. Did you hear about the Treadmill Run weird record. A guy named Arulanantham Suresh Joachim (Australia) ran a distance of 257.88 km (160.24 miles) in 24 hours at Square One, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada on 28-29 November 2004.
ReplyDeleteHow about that as a marathon training for beginners 24 hour on a treadmill :-)
