I guess that this will be a photoless post because my Image capture does not want to sync with my iPhone. It is always something with these devices.
Today's training charge consisted of the following:
- 0.5 mi warm up (I did 0.25mi)
- Three intervals of 1 mi fast and 0.5 mi easy
- 0.5 mi cool down (I did 0.25)
Unfortunately, NYC somewhat is still under snow so that means I had to do yet another treadmill run. Today's run has been the second treadmill run in 4 days so I am getting a little bored of it. Lucky for me, I cannot wear my contacts for the rest of the week, so I cannot really see anything while I am running. I feel like I do not push myself hard enough on the treadmill (today was a bit different). I think, similar to life, you get on a particular speed, become complacent, and stay at that speed until you are done. During my 2 mile interval, I did try to play around with the speeds to switch up my motivation a bit. I will say that practicing my breathing techniques probably is the only good thing about running on the treadmill. Oh, maybe the ambient temperature and quick access to your water and towel play a factor too.
*I wonder if there will be a towel boy/girl on the Half marathon course?*
Since I cannot post any photo to this thing this will be a quick post. Plus, I am very busy writing job applications. I just needed a quick time out from reading my CV for the 100, 000th time.
