Thursday Night 1-Hour Treadmill Run
We're in the middle of what is called a "prototype build" at work. It is where we build our respective part of the information system so we can then perform unit (mine is the general ledger) and integration testing to make sure all of the things that we've planned for will work appropriately when we go live.
That has made every day this week a long work day (basically 9 am to 9 pm) and I didn't get out the door once back at the apartment each night, Monday thru Wednesday. I've gotten in 10 miles worth of walking since Monday, but it isn't the same thing as running.
I actually took my running gear to work today so that I could run home after work - which is about 6-7 miles. It is 3.75 miles from the office to the south side of Lions Gate Bridge and then I'm really not sure how far it is from there to the apartment. However, rain foiled that attempt and after a certain time, I couldn't get into the workout room in the building where our office is. So I headed back across the inlet on the Seabus in my running gear and after I got home, I contemplated going out to run in the rain but I decided otherwise.
So it was downstairs in the workout room and running on the old Precor treadmill. I did 10 minutes easy at 4.6 mph, another 10 at 4.9 mph and ten (10) more at 5.2 mph. Then I bumped it up .1 mph every minute so that the 39th minute was at 6.2 mph -- call it a bit of mini-speedwork -- and closed it out with 20 minutes at 5.2 mph.
A good 1-hour run while watching the Dukes of Hazzard on CMT. Yee-haw!
