Tired Of The Treadmill
I was planning on running by the lake today in Kirkland. I changed my mind when the rain and wind started up. I met Michelle and we co-miserated on the treadmill.
I was still tired from my 15 miles on Sunday. I warmed up for about 2 miles and brought my pace up to 8 min/per mile for the last 3.5. I didn’t feel like going any faster or longer. My left ankle is a little tender. I’m not sure why.

Lisa- thank you for checking in! I think the physical therapy has done the job.

I am starting back slowly with running, just moving up to 2.5 mile runs outside. Bit by bit, I’ll get there!
I also despise the treadmill. Looks like your training is going well, and thank you for all the informative articles lately!
