Wednesday at the Y

Treadmillin': 3.3 miles in :25:32 min. @ 7:00 p.m.

Heart Monitor Data: 321 cals, 78% MHR avg., 84% MHR max.

My stepson has started practicing for our neighborhood YMCA swim team again, so periodically I will attempt crosstraining on a treadmill or elliptical machine in the "Cardio Theater." Running on a treadmill is among my least favorite training options, but the convenience and soft surface make avoiding the machine rather difficult.

This evening's brief "run" (3.3 miles) was just about as far I can run on the machine without feeling very bored, despite the four television screens of blather available as a distraction. Give me roads and trails instead of Wolf Blitzer and Alex Trebek anyday...

Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
