I didn't like the idea of running 8 miles in 20-degree weather this morning....so I schlepped 7.5 miles on the treadmill. That was two X-Files episodes (Terms of Endearment and The Rain King) and I just couldn't do that other half-mile. Call me lame. Go ahead, I'm waiting.
My knees are unhappy with me now. I usually don't have knee troubles, but then I don't usually run on a treadmill. I'm hoping that's the last long run I'll have to do that way.
Still, the stats are encouraging:
7.5 miles
1:32:00
12:16 pace
1,029 calories burned
Okay, so a 12:16 pace is NOT all that encouraging. But I still have eight weeks to go.
I'm throwing in an "easy run" during the week. I should just cross train twice a week, but I can't bring myself to do it. It seems to me like not even exercising. Plus, I'm betting on the weather getting nicer.
After my run, I took S. ice skating for 3 hours. That also could be part of why my knees are hurting......
