Today was super hot. Like plastic-meltingly hot.
Definitely not run 5 easy miles weather. Not at 5:30 after work, not at 7:30 after dinner, not even right now, at 9:30, where it is currently 92°. No joke.
But I'm telling you, people, I'm keeping the faith this go round, so back to the gym I went.
The worst things about the treadmill are: 1) it's at the gym, which is equally full of wonderful, polite active people getting their endorphin fixes and gymbos (those over-inflated gym rats whose mamas never taught them it's not polite to stare) and 2) it's boring.
Thankfully, treadmill running has ceased to be painful, which was my initial challenge. And luckily, I've been fairly successful with abating the boredom with awesome mixes on my iPod. But sadly, there is nothing I can do about the gymbos.
So I ran my five miles, keeping it slow around 9:30-10:00/mile pace and somehow profusely sweating still, despite being in air conditioning.
Today's mix featured the eclectic likes of 90s post-grunge (Oleander), multi-instrumentalism (Wikipedia's word for Andrew Bird), bluegrass (The Infamous Stringdusters), and classic electric guitar (Jimmy Hendrix).
What gets your feet moving?
Miles 271.5-276.5: Erin 2, Treadmill 0.
