After yesterday's disaster at the gym, I wasn't looking forward to today. I felt better, and determined that yesterday's sickness was the result of entirely too much sugar (jelly beans, peanut butter cookies, I definitely indulged).
I got to the gym today and was pretty bummed it was pretty busy. I don't like working out around people. Part of the reason I like going so late or early is because its normally just one or two people. Today there were a lot of people, so I was apprehensive. But, I stayed positive and set my timer on my treadmill.
I was a little frustrated by the fact that three of the TVs were playing the same thing, and without closed captioning! I knew if I wanted to keep on the treadmill for the full hour, I needed something to preoccupy myself. Boredom gets the best of me so keeping occupied was key.
Luckily, the shows quickly changed and the closed captioning was turned on. Next thing I knew I was cruising. Before I knew it I was in my cool down. Today is seriously the best I've felt in a long time. I am really starting to feel some improvement, especially in regards to my endurance. I could've kept going after my hour today, except the fact that the treadmill won't let you do more than an hour at a time.
The good news is I made it, and I ran further in one period of time than I ever had in the past. So close to 6 miles! My next long run will be Sunday, and I'm hoping to reach that 6 mile mark!
