WTF happened to summer? Today was more like a fall day, cool and rainy! I believe it got up to a blistering 13 C (55 F). It was definitely not a great day.
I also decided that today marked the end of my vacation and that it was time to jump back on the exercise bandwagon. The question is what to do? I am still struggling with a plan for the next little while, I have decided on the activities just not on the goals.
I put off the decision on what to do until there were no options left! It was either the treadmill or nothing, so I chose this!
My last run marked the end of the Runner’s World Summer Challenge on July 4. I then switched entirely to cycling to complete the MapMyRide Le tour Challenge, then my little Hiatus for the last week. The bottom line is I forgot how hard running is.
I set the treadmill for 6.8 mph and 0.5% incline and started to run. Over the course of the next 26:30 minutes I increased the speed to 7.2 mph and racked up 3 miles. At the end of the run I was feeling every step.
I stepped outside for the cool down and watched the steam rise of my arms and legs. Man that is a little chilly.
Nice run on the first day back!
Plod On.
