I ended up having to walk/run on the treadmill in the hotel this evening. It had cleared up outside after dinner. I just wasnt sure where to go. PLUS I had convinced myself that a swim in the hotel pool would be most enjoyable. So technically I was dressed for a swim with my shorts and shirt over top. I hadnt thought about people playing around in the pool. I mean really? At a hotel pool? In the summer time? Kids playing? Why didn't taht cross my mind? Probably because the other hotel I normally stay at doesnt ever have anyone in the pool. SO I didnt swim. I went to the exercise room instead. I didnt feel like lugging everything else back upstairs and then finding my way around. So the treadmill it was.
There was a guy on the stationary bike when I got there. The treadmill was free - YAY. This is the first time I have been on a treadmill since Greenwood this past winter. Seriously. I dont think I have been on a treadmill in quite some time. I walked/ran for 45 minutes. Did a little over 2 miles. I didn't ramp up the speed all that much. I did practice some mid foot and toe landing. And I confirmed that on a treadmill the stance for a run - you know bent slightly forward at the hips, always feeling like you are falling a little bit into the stride - just doesnt happen. To run on toes you can do that at almost a snails pace. With the treadmill you really do end up letting it bring you through your routine instead of a proper postured road workout. At least that was my observation.
My other observation for the evening. There was soccer/futbol on. The new ManU shirts were Aon sponsored. It reminded me of a conversation recently about Akon. I was confused as I thought they meant Aon. Anyways I liked the new footies.
