PM - ran 3.5 miles on the treadmill after volunteering in a call center for 3 hours making calls for Proposition 102 here in Arizona (the "marriage amendment"). I would have run further, but the treadmill was making these awful screeching sounds that made me worry something was seriously wrong with it, and every step I took was inflicting more damage on it. Warmed up the first mile, gradually speeding up to 7:30 pace, then launched into what was supposed to be 4 miles at tinman pace (6:40/mile). Unfortunately the treadmill did not cooperate today, and I can't run outside because Lybi is out with some friends watching a movie. Such is life. Hopefully I can get in some miles tomorrow morning. However, I have learned from experience that I am not going to try to "make up" the miles I was unable to run tonight. |
