Saturday Becomes Sunday

Well I was bad on Saturday and didn't do my run! I went to my girlfriend's brother's place to help him frame out his basement and just didn't get to my run. Now this is a habit that has to stop. If I am suppose to train on a certain day I have to do it no matter what I am doing that day. It is too easy to say "oh I'll do it tomorrow" and then when tomorrow comes not do it. So far if I have missed a day I have made up for it the next day but I am sure that that trend won't continue. So there is an easy way to fix that and that is to NOT SKIP ANY TRAINING DAYS!

Now on to what I did accomplish today. I went to Millennium Place today and ran on a treadmill for 24 minutes. I haven't ran on a nice treadmill like that for a long time and it was kind of nice. I know that I can't do that all the time because running on a treadmill is not the same as running on the ground but it was nice to switch it up a bit, plus it gives me a little bit of an idea of how I am actually doing. Speaking of which I did 3.2 KM in 24 minutes. That is 15 minutes at 5MPH and 5 minutes and 7 MPH and then a really good 4 minute cool down. So all in all it was a really great run.

I also did my ride for today. I moved my bike computer so that it actually reads my speed sensor on my rear wheel so for the first time I have an idea as to how far I would be going outside. My program called for 13 KM and I had been riding for 30 minutes so I figured that those numbers would be close to each other. Guess they are not that close. I rode for 3o minutes at an average speed of 33.4 KM/h and a total distance of 17 KM. So I won't be dropping my time any but I'll try to let my distance catch up to my time!

I must admit it was a really good day training today and hope that my next week goes even better. I'll be posting all my weekly numbers tomorrow night after work.

Take care and have a great week!
