So I failed at posting Friday night, but I did in fact run. Week 3, Day 3, accomplished! I skipped my breaks at work so I could "leave" at 4 and go running. I did the first half outside, and then, oh man oh man, did I have to pee! Luckily, the first half took my in a circle and I was right back by the gym at work. So there was a quick unscheduled break, and then I wrapped things up on the treadmill.
I haven't run on a treadmill for a long time and oh man, in some ways, it was so much easier, and in some ways, so much harder! For example, if I run like a drunken duck while running outside, no one cares. It doesn't matter I can't stick to a straight line to save my life. When running on a treadmill, this wobbly tendency poses a problem. There were times I had to put my hands on the rail to keep myself from completely biffing it. I was willing to deal with this though, because the run itself just felt so much easier!
Outside, it was nice because the scenery changed and I had distance goals and such. The wind was going though and it kind of sucked the breath right out of my body. That part was not so cool. So, I'm going to let myself do some treadmill runs, but I'm going to try to do at least one or 2 outdoor runs each week.
PS - I went shopping! Outdoor runs will be much easier once my cold weather running gear arrives :) Hooray!
