Let's just call today a failure, shall we?
Ugh.
So I mentioned that we bought a treadmill. It has now officially been re-named the dreadmill....because I dread the days when I have to use that thing. It took me an hour to do 3.5 miles today. It was supposed to be a 3.5 mile run, but that wasn't happening for me. Even with the fan pointed at me, and our window A/C unit going, I was still just too hot and it was miserable. There is also something about the treadmill that makes my legs hurt when I run on it...I'm not sure why it does that, but it stinks!
So today was a walk/run day...which I'd much rather not have for a short run like 3.5 miles. I am okay if I need to walk during a 5 or 6 mile run, but today was borderline ridiculous. I just couldn't get it together. My breathing was all wonky. My legs were hurting. The sunburn on my back was bothering me, and I was super hot. It was a recipe for disaster.
I've been lucky so far this summer, because our temperatures have been pretty mild. This week, summer is here in full effect. I don't like it one bit. 3.5 miles in an hour is a joke and a half.
Tomorrow is a new day...I'm supposed to either cross-train or do 2 miles. I think I'll do both...a run in the early morning and a bike ride with the kiddos later on. Hopefully those 2 miles will be better than today's encounter with the dreadmill. I don't want these crappy runs to become the norm. That is no fun.
