I went to the gym feeling not all that motivated, and kind of hungry. Everyone in Oregon was watching the Ducks game, so I figured the gym wouldn’t be that crowded. I was right! There were two people in there, both of which looked more out of shape then me. Not that I’m judging – cuz I’m not – I’m just saying. Anyway, that made me feel pretty good.
I put in my ear buds and hit the button. Started with a good paced walk, then took it up to an easy jog. Started to get into a groove, then I upped my speed. After two miles, I got up to 4.5 and held it for the last three miles! I didn’t stop once to slow down. Overall I’m feeling pretty fucking awesome that I jogged the ENTIRE time. Even when I ran my half-marathon last year, I wasn’t able to do that. I’m feeling like I may be in the best shape I’ve been in! Ever!
Granted, running on a treadmill is a little easier than running outside – don’t have to deal with the elements (primarily the cold). And it’s all flat all the time. I’m still impressed with myself though! Maybe when the weather gets warmer, I’ll be able to test my endurance on the road. But for now, I’m going to stick with the temperature controlled gym :-)
