Late Treadmill 5

Today I went for a run on the treadmill for the first time in FOREVER! Today was a busy day – a delayed opening, dentist in the afternoon and just enough time for the treadmill. I used to love the treadmill, but the last few times have left me with IT Band pain. There was no way I was running on ice in the morning, so despite my reservations, the treadmill was my last option. I jumped on the treamill and held an easy pace for five miles. Everything felt great, but I’m curious if I might feel it tomorrow. After I did my planks I called it a night. I forgot to mention – for the month of January I’m trying a plank Challenge! I loved doing the planksgiving challenge for Barre and thought adding January planks could be a fun challenge. The app I found varies between 5-8 plank poses and extending times. So far I’m doing well, but there are some planks that are tough to balance and extend. I’m on day 8 and things seem to be going well!

More Treadmiles

Today I went for a run after barre class. Call me a wimp, but it has been too cold to run outside lately. So today I had a solid barre class which kicked my butt. Second I hopped on the treadmill at home to get in five easy miles. I’ve been pretty sore lately in the same leg, maybe it’s the treadmill playing mindgames. Glad I got it done…. just keep showing up!

19 Feels Like too Cold to Run

Today I went for a run and got in six treadmiles. It was super chilly today with ‘feels like’ 9 degree temperatures. I had a busy day at school, picked up my daughter from her school and then jumped on the treadmill at home. Sometimes treadmill runs seem to feel like you have been sent on a long journey to no where. But today I took to the treadmill with Led Zeppelin and my new shoes and got through a solid run smiling.

5 Late Treadmill Miles

Today I went for a run in my new Shamrock kicks! I procrastinated and waited until 8:30pm before I finally was motivated enough to jump on the treadmill. Honestly, the only thing that got me up and moving was the thought of me breaking in my super sharp, new shoes! Despite having a headache the past two days I took it easy, listened to my jams and got it done. I also was pretty pumped to register my daughter and I for an upcoming St. Patrick’s Day 5k with the BRRC!

Treadmill Before the Storm

Today I went for a run on the treadmill because I was just too tired to wake up this morning. I had a kick butt barre class yesterday, so this morning I just wasn’t ready to squeeze a run in before taking the kids to the dentist. After a busy day at school I came home and took a well needed nap before hitting the treadmill for 5 miles. It’s been a while since I’ve jumped on the treadmill and I have to say I enjoyed not having to wear 10 layers of clothing! Snow day tomorrow and I have to get creative with my run – wish me luck!
