run, run, run

today was my running day.  i chose to hit the Y earlier than i usually do because i was up early.  ch is at the farm today with the dogs, so i seriously have jackall to do and it's GREAT!

good treadmill run.  i thought i'd try the speed variant function and was disappointed to discover it is a manual adjustment, rather than automatic.  it would have been better to let the machine provide controlled sprints, rather than me doing it on a whim.

i set it to 5.5mph for my jogging minutes and 6.5mph for regular sprint periods.  started off for 3 mins at a jog, sped up for 15 minutes, went back to a jog for 3, cranked it back up and then finished off the last 2 minutes at 7.5mph sprinting to finish.

felt great when i was done.  very sweaty, but ultimately a good workout.

tomorrow's a rest day in theory.  i may hit the bike, seeing as i havent returned to it yet.
