Have I mentioned....

I hate the treadmill.  Maybe it's just OUR treadmill, but it seems like the workout takes forever and I don't feel like the gagues of speed or distance work properly.  Not to mention the 'boring factor'

It was really hot and humid last night and I didn't want to tackle my run at the track, so I thought I would try my 5 mile tempo run on the treadmill.  Well, THAT was a bad idea.  I ended up only doing 2.5 miles, and was more exhausted than if I had done 5 on the road or at the track.   I did a FIRM video after my run, so it wasn't a total loss, but it's very frustrating to not do what I plan to do.  I will probably do another 2.5 miles on Friday to make up for the missing mileage... since Friday is supposed to be a rest day.

I have another 5K this Saturday.  The course on this one is supposed to be 'flat, shady, and fast' according to the registration information.... So maybe it'll be a good one for me.  This will be my last race until mid-August.  There are no more local races until then.  There are a few that I would like to do, but they are just too far away to drive to them the same day, and my finances don't allow me to spend the night away from home for a race. 

Today's run is supposed to be a 4 mile easy run.... I will most likely do it in the neighborhood this time... depending on traffic.  I have to cross a very busy main road, and don't like doing this run except in the early morning hours when there's very little traffic. 

I will make an effort to post my workout plan for the rest of the month, just to keep myself accountable to keep it.  I guess it's easier for me to keep up with it if it's floating around in cyberspace as well as hanging on my wall written on my workout calendar.

Work is having a luncheon tomorrow at a pizza joint.  I would love to go, but I just don't know if I have the willpower to avoid the pizza buffet.  LOL.  Maybe I should just decline this one, especially since I already know that I will be eating out a couple more times this weekend.  Saturday night, DH and I are going out to celebrate our anniversary, which was Tuesday... and Sunday we will be going out after church with my brother in law and his family.  They are having a dedication ceremony Sunday for my nephew.  

Well, even though I feel pretty crappy right now (upset stomach) I suppose I should get some work done.  Have a great day everyone.
