I guess I will be in a new month now in the blog. Hopefully I will be continuing through the year. Went to the gym again today because #1 It's cold out, #2 It's still icy on some of the sidewalks and #3 It seemed like the thing to do on New Years. It wasn't too crowded. Yet.
I did 9 min / 1 min splits! But the last split I just ran the entire 10 min. So, 28 minutes of running. I started slow and got faster for the first few minutes (but not walking) and got up to 5.5 mph. Second split I did 6.0 mph, then the third I went back to 5.5. Total distance was 2.8 miles I think. I'm really suspicious of google maps. 5.5 felt like a nice jog, 6.0 felt pretty tiring (hence dropping back for the third split.) No hills. Do I really run faster outside? I feel like I'm going at a crawl usually.
The gym is fricking boring! Even with music and a TV.
Post Script: Holy Shit! I just saw on the news that this couple in Australia is trying to run a marathon a day for the entire year. And they are grandparents!! I can't even imagine it: Forrest Gump meets Crocodile Hunter. What if you just want to spend the day watching Mad Men?

About Me
- The Lazy Cretins
- I am not an athlete. I mean, really not an athlete. You know how by the time you are in second grade or so you know where you fall in the kickball team choosing order? I knew I was last round, even if a friend was captain. It's OK, I was good at the rest of school. But now it's time to push the boundaries and work on some fitness.
