Training Log Archive: RLShadow

After doing some shopping in the morning, when it was nice out, by the time I was inspired to run, it was dark, overcast, and very windy. Not real pleasant. I decided to head to Webster Park and run on trails, where it would be somewhat sheltered from the wind. So Homer, Hazel, and I did a fairly short run, 25 minutes. Trails weren't in too bad of shape, except for one semi long stretch where there were frequent muddy areas that were tough to avoid. Weight was up a couple of pounds which isn't a good sign given that it's probably not going to do anything but go higher over the next couple of weeks ...

Treadmill workout at Ortho Clinical Diagnostics before I went into work for a few hours. I really dislike treadmills, but I'm determined to get to where I can tolerate treadmill workouts, because I also dislike running outdoors on cool rainy days like today. And I figure that any workout is better than none. Today, I had the incline set to a 2% grade for most of the time, and to a 4% grade for 5 minutes. My goal is to build up to where I can do most of the workout on an 8-10% grade (recognizing that my pace will be much slower).
