And She's Back! 11 months ago

2 months away from this goal for various reasons, and it sucked. I really should have started back on thursday, but that would have been so cliche. Anyway, I told myself today would be the day and looked forward to it all week.

I do like my treadmill. I know real runners hate treadmills, and I can see why. I always have an awkwardness about my pacing, never sure if this is where I run or just walk fast. But once I’m on that thing, I do love the feeling of just doing. Not answering anyone, not getting anything, not planning for later but just being in the moment.

I’m thinking about doing couch to 5k. There I said it.

treadmills

I don’t hate them. Wish I had one. They have limitations, but I hate winter weather.

you go girl. 5ks are fun for women who are crazy in a good way…

I forget

how great a treadmill would seem to those with snow winters. Here we usually have good outdoor running conditions all year. No snow and never very cold or too hot.

We’ve had a freakish 3 weeks of real winter weather. I’ve actually been housebound several days of this. There’s nowhere safe to run outdoors. I know some serious runners who are just frustrated all to heck that now they actually have to use a treadmill to run :)

Treadmills seem to be the thing

...when you consider how treacherous it is to be walking around outside right now. I bumped a bruise today that I got falling on the ice last week (it still hurts!!) and my mother-in-law broke four bones in her ankle last March while out walking the dog… I saw the scars and heard the gruesome tale of recovery over Christmas. Now her entire household is lining up to get on their new treadmill. Seriously… they impatiently get in que and wait for a turn :\ It’s quite a sight.

Ouch! Slips on the ice are the worst because you fall so hard. I had a fall last winter (running to the car) and it took a full month to get back to normal. I hope your bruises go away quickly, don’t bump them!
