Friday Night Workout

If things are beginning to look that I'm making a little bit more effort, you might be right.

Finally, I think I'm just starting to relax and not worry about what I'm supposed to be having fun with. Do we all want to get better? Sure. It just depends how much we want to work at it.

Tonight, I made it to Bally's in The Woodlands at about 8:20 p.m. Started out with 20 minutes on the regular treadmill that I run on there, but it was shaking so much -- and it wasn't so much me -- that I couldn't read while running.

I switched to another brand of treadmill, which I have to set at 0.5 incline instead of 1.0, and put in another 20 minutes because the club normally closes at 9 p.m. on Friday evenings.

As I was walking out to leave, they acknowledged that they were staying open to 10 p.m. Therefore, I stayed and put in 50 minutes on the stationery bike -- 30 minutes at random, level 6 before being interrupted by a phone call and then another 20 minutes at level 7.

I like it. I just need to keep it going.

If you're training tomorrow or racing - for those that will be at the Willis Wildkat 5K, best wishes to you (and be careful as it has started to rain out there).
