12 Miler on The Freaking Treadmill

September 4, 2010 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Cool in the Basement

Comments:
Not sure what to say with the run....it was long, it was late and I just wanted to get it done. Not sure if running under 11 for 12 is really a big accomplishment since I had to speed it up to 6.5+ a few times to make sure I stayed under. I don't think it is a good indicator of your true time. But, I am proud I ran it on a Friday night after oversleeping in the morning and missing the run outside. The weather outside here is windy but cool which would be perfect for a run. May try a 4-5 miler on Sunday. Right now I am pretty sore...feet are killing me. These shoes are not good for me - I've tried to do all the shorter runs with my old New Balance, but I now have about 400 miles on them so they are on their last legs. Could it be time to retire the Asics Gel Nimbus 11 that I paid $80 bucks for at only 130 miles? That will be tough to do....but may be better than risking injury.
