4.51 miles in 45'00"

i thought about running outside. really i did. it was 33 degrees with a strong north wind and a smattering of precipitation. still i wanted to go out for a run. my legs said, "yes!" my brain said, "no!" my brain won.

i popped a veggietales video in the dvd player. i set the incline at 2% and started running at 5mph to warm up. i wasn't feeling much like running hard, so i just added a tenth of a mile per hour every two minutes. i did this for 42 minutes reaching 7mph. then i dropped the incline to 1.5% and decreased my speed every 30 seconds till the video was done. in hit the stop button at 45 minutes and stepped off the nasty thing, dripping wet and wishing i was frozen and wind blown. grrrrr!

at least the video was fun!
