Treadmill

July 3, 2011 Sunday 48 days to go

Today is long run day - 2:45 is the goal.  Dressed a little differently today. Wore my Newtons, my pink compression socks, my compression shorts and my kneebraces. Started out on the seawalk. Two minutes into the run, I knew this combination of compression wear and kneebraces was not going to work. Also there were rumblings of a similar incident to yesterday, so I hurried home. Changed to shorts and regular socks and headed of to Jen and Jerry's house to use the treadmill. If I could go only a few minutes without a gastrointestinal incident, I might as well run on their treadmill next to a bathroom.
 
Its been a long while since I ran for any length of time on a treadmill. I set up the DVD player with a dance movie, set the treadmill to 1% incline and started off. Using Jerry's conversion chart taped to the treadmill, tried to find a pace that would give me somewhere around 7:30 per kilometer. Was going along great then accidentally hit the safety cord and everything came to a stop. Once I started up again, all my information was wiped out. This became a trend for the run.  If I added up all the minutes I think I did at least 2:45. I did a movie and a half. I didn't wear kneebraces and my knees were pretty good, but my feet were really tired at the end.
