Completed 5 miles last night on the treadmill, painful. I was supposed to run 1 mile warm up, 3 miles @ 10:00 pace, 1 mile cool down. Disappointingly, I couldn't make it through 3 miles at 10:00 pace. I had to slow down to 11 & 12 minute speeds. Happy to have completed the mileage, but wishing it could have been faster.
Running the treadmill was horrible, although it was a pretty cool treadmill - instead of being 1 single piece of material making up the moving walkway part it was a bunch of individual horizontal slats of rubber. Probably intended to decrease the impact on joints or something.
My body feels horrible, everything aches. I get sharp shooting pain in my joints out of nowhere. I've eaten as many bananas as I can tolerate, but still cramp up. I feel old. And I'm starting to get scared of the hills...
On a high note, it's a three day weekend! Hallelujah! Gotta get 6 miles in either tomorrow or Sunday. Gonna try and run them at the Quabbin Reservoir, because it's gorgeous and only slightly hilly. Enjoy the weekend!
