Treadmill

The streets are rough enough for cars right now and the trails at Oaks and Valley Forge are not plowed yet so I headed to the gym this morning. 7 miles on the treadmill.....

General consensus is that the treadmill is not the same as running outside; because the belt more or less keeps you going the effort is not the same as outside. There are adjustments you can make but still....

Having said that, mentally the treadmill is a much more difficult workout. I don't think there is enough music or video in the world to make the treadmill less stressful on the brain. So I consider it a huge accomplishment to have completed 7 miles this morning.

With more snow coming on Monday (4-8 inches is the latest prediction) I'm sure I'll be back there.

30 minutes at the gym

Not very much but it was all I could manage. I went to the doctor after work. A follow up for the sinus/laryngitis issues. I'm making progress but he really wants me to take the nasal spray (ugh). I go back again in a month.

I went to the Gym from there and just didn't have any energy. Not sure what that's all about but I'm not going to obsess about it either.

Blizzard ....

No running today.... but two passes at shoveling heavy wet snow and a walk to the Wawa (which was closed). The shoveling was a decent workout. It looks like it will be a while before running outside will happen again. Hopefully the gym will be open ... but probably not tomorrow.

4 miles in the snow

Ok.. getting back to a full schedule is proving quite a challenge. Between my sinus issues and the weather it's seems i'm always backed up. Last night I came home from work determined to run. Did I mention we had a 20 inch snowfall over the weekend? I think Dave thought I was a little bit crazy .. but then he already knew that. I finished 4 miles around my neighborhood. I have to say that dodging snow piles is a great way to pass the miles.

I passed on running tonight. Although it was warmer than yesterday it was also more humid and I just didn't feel like dealing with that. At this moment it is snowing again and the totals are expected to exceed the weekend totals so unlikely I'll be able to run tomorrow or get to the gym. I guess I really should have gone out tonight.

Thursday? We'll see.

Back Running

4 miles tonight and it felt great.... feels great. In fact my mind and most of my body were fine.. the congestion and cough left me a bit winded but i had decided to limit it to 4 regardless.

That's about it for now.
