I Am Back!

An Easy 6 On The Treadmill

Today, I was determined to get out of the house and get a workout in. Being stuck in the house sick for 3 days was driving me crazy! I finally broke out! ;) It actually felt good to get out and do something today. I did a little shopping and then hit the gym for some time on the treadmill.

The gym was really nice today around 1 pm and had no problem what-so-ever getting on a treadmill. It was also nice not to have to hurry up and get off so someone else can use it. I can't wait to get my own treadmill, which we are hoping to do with tax money! I have always wanted one, but wanted to make sure that I would use it. Now that I have been working out consistently for almost a whole year, and ran a marathon, I think I will use one! :) And deserve one!

Anyway...back to the workout...I am actually, dare I say it, starting to enjoy running on the treadmill....gasp! It doesn't seem to bother me that much any more. I just kind of space out while I am running, and at least running on the treadmill, I don't have to worry about getting hit by any cars.

Today's run went pretty well, considering I have been sick since Monday. I am feeling better, still not 100%, but definitely better. It felt good to exercise again! I ended up doing 6 miles at a 10 minute per mile pace, and didn't let myself go below that! Set it at 10:00 and ran for 6 miles. Simple as that!

Average HR for today's run was 152.

So glad to be back running again!

I finished with a nice, long cool down walk...1.5 miles. Decided on 1.5 miles, since I only got in .5 on Monday. Have to make everything even! :) Felt really good!


Average HR for the cool down....124.


Ended with 5 minutes of stretching!


Total Miles for 2011----37/2011!
