On Monday I did my run on the treadmill at work and then after work did some weight training at the gym while waiting for a treadmill to become available - when will the January crowd finally die down? Anyway, after about 30 minutes one of the mills opened up and I got myself upstairs VERY quickly and got myself a second run in for the day. Now, I was feeling pretty good and would have like to have done more than a mile, but there were people waiting and there is a rule limiting time when the treadmills are in demand, so I did a mile, cleaned my cooties from the machine and let the next person take a turn.
Today, Tom and I went to the gym early and I ran again while he went to Beth's cycle class (she's awesome, by the way!). I had intended to run 3 miles, but my brain was still in bed when I was programming my time and I went way short...OOOPS! Still, got 2.25 miles with a decent pace so all is good. I always look forward to my long runs on Saturdays though, we always run out on the road or on a trail. It's quite refreshing!
Since the weather people said that today would be a decent day, I loaded up my bike and all my gear into the car last night to do my lunch ride. With most days being wet since the first of the year, I have no interest in riding in the rain - so I might be running twice a day for a while. Not exactly what I'm hoping for, but the good weather will be back again in no time at all.
I'm not sure how long these daily doubles will last, but so far so good. I figure it's not that different that when I'm riding to and from work anyway, so I may as well get ready for that...bike commuting opportunities will be here before I know it!
This year is going to be filled with so many fun events, I can hardly wait to do the first one! Shamrock Run baby!
January Cycling Chart - still have a ways to go to catch up to last years total, but looking good over 2008!
