My first treadmill workout of the season, at the fitness center at one of my part time jobs. For approximately half of the total time, I had the incline set quite steep, 11-12%. That slowed my pace way down, at time to a fast walking pace, but even so it was a strenuous workout. I basically can't stand treadmill workouts, so this was just to start trying to get accustomed to them, to a point where I can tolerate a few workouts a week on them. I'm still using as a goal the prospect of doing the Pike's Peak ascent next August, in which case I need to do significant hill workouts over the winter, either outdoors or on the treadmill.

Got out on a warm afternoon, but with rain having come through, and threatening again. Ran down towards Lake Rd and the bay, not making it to the Outlet. Had a nice long but fairly gentle uphill on the way back. Managed to get back before the rain came in again.

Tired from my 1-hour run yesterday, but it was a nice day and I wanted to at least do a short run. Went down to Ellison Wetlands and ran for 20 minutes with Hazel (canine running companion). I did two fairly significant hills, so although it was a short run, I felt I got a bit of a workout.
