Shaky

I hit the treadmill at the hotel the other day since I was really in a hurry in the morning. It was a modern LifeFitness model, the ones that often have the TV attached (this one didn't), and I was surprised by how shaky the treadmill was. If I ran in the middle, it shook audibly, and visibly, making it hard to hear the TV and unnerving me a bit.

I started running at 2.0 incline, but backed that down. I even went to 0 and it was better, but still shaky. I noticed that the left side was much worse, and if I slid to the right a bit, essentially running right of center with both legs, it shook much less.

I did that, and worried because occasionally my shoes would squeak on the side of the treadmill as they hit the deck. Eventually I was close to center, just enduring the shaking. It was an annoying and hard run, making me wish I'd gotten up 30 minutes earlier and gone outside.

Day 1418

Up early, on the treadmill in the hotel before a long day of work and travel.

Day 1417

Discovery Park in Sacramento. I got in a touch early, and headed down to the park to run by the river before meeting people for work. Not quite by the river, but a nice trail through the woods next to the river, semi shaded, on a warm summer day.

Partially on asphalt, partially hard packed. A harder run than I expected.

Mixing things up

I still enjoy running, and look forward to it most days. Even when I have something else scheduled.

It's mixing it up time in my life, adding in weights and kid activities on top of BFL. So far I think I'm doing well, but we'll see how it goes over the next month. My legs were definitely tired today, and I'm not really looking forward to lifting later.

Day 1409

Pushing a bit. After yesterday's pace, this felt really easy. Had to up to 6.7 a few times to get moving.

Just running

It's been two months of basically just running. Not quite as I've lifted a bit with my son, but easy workouts. Baseball a few times, but about every other week with holidays and travel. Some swimming with the kids, but not really working.

Overall my legs are better, but not great. Still tired, and aching sometimes, but aching less than with karate.

Slowly monitoring and thinking about it, but I may end this soon. My wife wants to do p90x or body for life, and I'd like to swim more. I may have to go down to 1.2mi runs some days if I keep going, or just stop this streak and keep it going as just an "exercise every day" streak.

Day 1391

Body for Life run on the treadmill. I wanted to try one on my own to see how I did. I did this:

5: 4.5
6: 5.5
7: 6.0
8: 6.8
9: 7.2

for the first pyramid. Then the other three went at

6:6.0
7: 6.4
8: 6.8
9: 7.2
10: 7.5

A press and I was tired at the end, closing with a 5.0 minute. 2.06mi in 20 minutes, with essentially 3 minutes of walking. Not bad.
