Treadmill & I

Last night after our Habitat for Humanity Run meeting got done......I still had to go home and run.  I didn't want to start my week off by not sticking to my commitment on the first day of the week!  So I went down to my treadmill......thinking to myself - just get in 30 minutes.  At this point it is after 8 pm and I'm normally starting to go to sleep by then.  So I had to talk myself into not just going to bed. 

So I hopped on the treadmill.......set my Garmin for minute intervals.  That is usually my best option on the treadmill.  Run fast for a minute, walk for a minute.  Keeps my interest that way. After a minute.....I kept running.  I thought to myself......I'm going to run a mile straight....maybe 2 and then be done for the night.  I was almost to a mile and I bumped the "key" and shut the treadmill off.  Darn it!!  Ruined my momentum.  So then I had to start over........so then I went to the intervals.  Run as fast as I can for a minute........walk for a minute.  I did that several times and finished up my 30 minutes.  I want to keep working on my speed on the treadmill PLUS try to work on running 3 miles without stopping on the treadmill.  One of these days......the treadmill and I will be good friends. 

Happy Running.
