Wow what a work out. I planned on doing 3 miles on the treadmill before I met with my trainer. I had a tshirt for my trainer and I had always wanted to run while covering the screen so I wouldn’t obsess over time/miles etc, so I figured use the shirt to cover the screen. Well let me tell you I knew when I hit 1 mile and then I was like let’s keep going until I really need a water break and knocked out another mile in a total of 21:32. I was hauling ass and I thought to myself maybe I should run 4 miles today and 3 miles tomorrow (which I am going to do at 8 am since I don’t have to be at work until 10 am and I want to start running in the type of heat it will be when I do my 10K. I was nervous about doing the 4 miles and running later in the morning than my usual 6:15 am). So I decided to knock out the other two miles. So I ended up doing my 4 miles in 41:56. WHAT?!?! Who am I? I’m a beast. I think the trick was covering the screen. I may start bringing a towel or something to cover up the screen when I run from now on, plus it makes it a bit more like a real run outdoors because I can’t obsess over time and mileage then.
Then post run I worked abs and back with my trainer. I was SO sweaty – it was gross and great at the same time. I like need a sweat band or goggles or something, I hate when I get sweat in my eye and it BURNS LIKE A MOTHER. He kicked my ass, but I pushed through and feel stronger for it.
