7 Miles Inside

Workout: 7 Mile Easy Run

A makeup run tonight.  I was supposed to run 7 yesterday but events conspired against me.  Also I had to wedge the run in after work but before a meeting I had.  On top of all that it was freaking hot!  So I woosed out and decided to run inside at Pennock on the treadmill.

The run was good, but I was definitely breathing hard.  I was actually surprised at how much I was working.  On the up side I could definitely notice that the treadmill was softer than the pavement.  It was a nice break.  I may incorporate some treadmill runs into my weekly mileage, but probably only the short runs.  7 miles was a long way to go on the treadmill.  Just as a change of pace.

Getting stronger for sure, also I have dropped a couple of pounds which I think is making a difference.  Need to do a better job with the cross training although my “Peak Performance” strength training program starts next week Thursday so that will help.
