Notes
I would not normally head for the treadmill on a day like today but Jane and I both wanted to check out the workout facilities at Wheaton College (which we get to use for free). This morning was our chance to do it. Very nice. Plenty of good treadmills. Good temperature. Plenty of TVs. It's going to be a nice place to work out. The indoor track isn't really designed for hard workouts. It's just an rectangle with rounded corners that is elevated above some basketball courts. I doubt I'd be able to do repeats on it but it could be a useful respite from an extra crappy day outside. Or I could use if for a treadmill workout cool down. Weight facilities are nice too. Hopefully I can consistently encorporate core/stretching into my workout. Also, the locker rooms are nice so that will be convenient even if I just want to change/shower on campus but still run outside (finish with a maintenance quarter on the track???).
As for the actual run, it was good. I started out slow and built until I finally threw in a sub 6min pace 3/4th mile followed by a half mile down and another 3/4th mile sub 6pace pick up and then a short cool down to round out the 4 miles. Enjoyed watching some Mike & Mike. We don't have cable at my house so that was a treat. Didn't feel too bad after yesterday either. That's good.
