My treadmill was all messed up this weekend. SOmehow the belt went crazy and was scary to walk on at even the slowest speed. Running was out of the question.
yesterday I read online that you should turn it on and let it run by itself for as long as your normal workout or even longer. I did that and while it's not 100% it's a heck of a lot closer than it was and it's probably usable. At least I'm considering using it for a 30-minute run tonight when yesterday I wouldn't have dreamed of such a thing.
I walked somewhere between 9-10 miles on Sunday morning but that was my only workout of the week and it wasn't a high intensity thing at all. I need to get some miles in today even if I have to do it outside and since it's raining right now that's not looking promising.
I've realized that the 3-Day is looming and that I need to do a 15-20 mile walk either this weekend or next. I'm not sure how that's going to work with the weather and going to the shore (hopefully) but it really needs to happen or I'm going to be one of the 3-Day wimps I've been mocking.
Virginia Beach is only 19 days away. My current plan is to wear a 12:00 pace band and maybe one a little faster. I'll be OK with the 12:00 pace finish but I'd love to do better. I'm not sure that my training will allow much better than that though, especially if it's hot.
