Treadmill Killed the Blog

Yes, I had every intention of keeping this going while I ran the treadmill.

I even started a post, but was interrupted before I could get far into it.  And I never returned.

I really seem to think about updating at the most inconvenient times; while driving, showering.  You know, those times I am sooo close to a computer.

So, a quick update.  I have been running three days a week at the gym.  Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.  Tuesday and Thursday I run 2 miles.  About 20 minutes.  On Saturday I try for at least 3 miles, then relax in the hot tub.  I'd love to run longer during the weekday, but I have an hour lunch, and by the time I get to the gym, change and account for the time I have to change back and get back to work, I have 20 minutes, give or take a few to stretch.

Because my time is limited, I haven't gotten the stretching in I would like, so of course I suffer from shin splints, or tendentious, or something in my legs.

Today I ran at a pretty steep incline, and started to decrease it at the end of my run.  That is when I discovered that it hurts less to run at a 5 incline than it does at a 0 incline.  I have no idea why, and if any seasoned treadmill runners out there can give me any info on that, it would be much appreciated.

I am thinking of running in the "tata trot" 5k this Saturday.  Since all my running for the past two months has been indoors, this could be really challenging, or a nice reprieve from the "dreadmill"

As for keeping up on the blog, I can't really promise anything. (obviously)  There really are a couple of similar, but different topics I want to spend my time on, and I think I shall be creating new blogs for those.

One is, tomorrow I am starting the 100 fit days challenge.  I've been debating a blog on that.  It is my goal to somehow catalog all 100 days on instagram.  I suppose I have 24 hours to decide what to do on the blog side of things.

So until next time, I'm around here somewhere.
