I averaged about an 8:30/mi pace for four miles on the treadmill. I thought it would be better than the icy roads and cold temperatures, but it wasn't really. I didn't enjoy it at all. You would think I would be enthusiastic about running after having a great race in St. George Saturday, but my heart just isn't in it right now. I was pumped on Saturday...but then I returned to the frozen wastelands of the north. It's not even the temperature, really. It wasn't all that warm in St. George. I think it's more the frozen snow and ice everywhere. I'm tired of worrying nearly every step about slipping and falling. Oh well, this too shall pass. |
