I Felt the Burn

WOW! Okay, if you've never done 5 miles on a treadmill, it's not fun! First, it's boring and second, it hurts.

I was using my handy dandy new shoes to break them in. Ouch! Blister city.

Oh - and I also have a new enemy at the gym. When I arrived, there was nobody working out on the treadmills, so I took advantage of adjusting the fan toward my treadmill. At mile 4, when I'm contemplating giving up, someone moved it! I gave her the Hobson stink eye during my last mile.

The motivation to get through the last mile was remembering that tomorrow is a rest day.

After the gym, I went to the grocery, which meant more walking, which meant a higher level of irritability, but I made it through that too.

Now that I have official battle wounds I can show people (my blisters), I feel like I'm really training.
