Treadmill Tuesday


Since it was just my girls and I at home I was left with the only option to get my miles in today.  I had to resort to my treadmill.  I wasn't too excited about it since if you have read any of my earlier posts, it tends to have a mind of its own.  It shakes, slows down, and speeds up all on its own.  It's a wonder I survive any of my match ups with it.

My knees have felt pretty crummy after my last few road runs so I was starting to get a little worried.  I made it to mile 4 1/2 before I noticed anything on the treadmill.  Even then there was no "pain."  Just an off feeling like if I pushed to hard I'd soon feel something worse.  I took every step thankfully and finished with 5.25 miles in 56 minutes.  I actually warmed up a little today so that slowed my time down too but I was trying to be nice to my knees.  I think maybe it helped.

Slightly sweatier than when I started.
