The title of this weeks blog might imply that there is more to this blog than there actually is... since both bad or good news would mean that there is some "news" in the first place. There isn't... really. But the "bad news" is that it rained pretty much all week again, and worse, it rained againnn on sunday... which as you know is my excuse to not get a good long run in. However, the "good news" is that I actually am kindof starting to like running on the treadmill! In fact, I don't really mind it at all anymore. Not to mention, since I am at the gym it is easier to do abs or lift weights afterwords.
On tuesday I ran 5 miles, then drove to the gym and lifted, which was awkward because I was like sweating in the car on the way to the gym. Gross. I guess I could run to the gym, but then I would have to run back after I lifted which I don't like doing.
Anyways, this week was really good after starting out slow. 36 miles for the week. Yaay, and considering that I did 31 miles in 4 days, thats pretty good. I felt really good today even towards the end of the 9 miles, and no injuries so far (knock on wood).
If you scroll down you will see that I did 9 miles on a treadmill twice this week. You might be thinking "last week you said that you could only do 8 miles max on a treadmill" (or maybe I am just flattering myself thinking that people actually read this blog let alone notice things like this). But anyways, I realized that after the 60 minute max on the treadmill, it can go for another 5 minutes which is like a cooldown period. However, you don't have to cool down, so technically the treadmill has a 65 minute max. Which allows me to get in 9 miles before it turns off. I then stop and restart it before I warm down.
Watching the news today while running on the treadmill, the weather lady said that it's gonna be another rainy week. Hopefully I can put in another good week like this one!
