Had a horrible day on the treadmill today. Too cold to handle the great outdoors. I figured I should be able to run 6 miles at a time now given the past week or two. Tried to do it with an incline today (3-4%) and it was rough. Had a couple possible excuses - cold symptoms or bad sleep - but neither are really true.
I think that I will continue to see variability based on time of day, what I ate, my mood, etc. I hope that the median keeps climbing as we get started into the second month of training. Only time will tell!
Speaking of time, I continue to find creative ways to tell time. I TRY and cover up the clock so that I dont realize how much longer I have to go...but it is so easy to tell in other ways:
Miles run. Obviously I know how fast I am running so you can calculate time based on total miles attained.
Calories burned. I supposedly go through 1000 cals in an hour...at leas tthat is what the treadmill tells me. You can do the math!
Watching TV. You can determine time based on the time between commercials. Or you shold know basically how long you are going based on song lenght/music videos.
Anyone have other ways?
As for the weight, I expected to be down a bit, but I am still hovering around 200 lbs. My wife tells me I am trading fat for muscle mass...lets hope that is true! :-)
