It was a dark and stormy morning. I got up this morning, turned on the TV while I stretched, and noticed a nice line of storms moving into our area. They appeared to still be about 30 minutes away, so I stretched quickly, headed out to the car and towards the park. Just as I left the driveway I started seeing some pretty serious lightning off to the west. So I turned the car around, went home, packed up all my stuff I would need for the day and headed to the fitness center for a run on the treadmill. Joy of joys.
I dislike the treadmill. It's mind numbingly boring and always seems more difficult than pavement for some reason. I started out with a quick warm up walk and then bumped it up to 9:40/mile. I held that pace for about 33 minutes. I watched TV. It was news. I wiped the sweat off. I saw some lightning out the window. Then I was done and I showered.
During the course of the run my heart rate gradually increased from about 150 shortly after I started running up to about 170 at the end of the run.
Today's Stats: I did around 3.4 miles in about 33 minutes for an average pace of 9:40/mile. It seemed harder than that same pace on the road.
