Treadmill PR

After last week's mediocre and somewhat disappointing run, I needed a mental victory. Last year, I ran 10 miles on my treadmill. Today, I did 11!

It was too easy to drop the kids off and come back home. I was toying with the idea of doing a treadmill run anyway for a couple of reasons. First, I knew I would have plenty of water. My handy-dandy treadmill doesn't mind holding it for me either. Second, I could zone-out and not have to watch for cars or think about every step or turn I was going to make. Third, it would be cool to set a new record. Fourth (and the deciding factor), I had this week's episode of The Biggest Loser to watch!

It's fun to curl up on the couch and watch those guys and gals tough it out every week on that show. But, I always end up feeling a little bit lethargic and guilty afterwards. They worked out so hard and I just sat there - probably eating something, too. I was also dreaming about having one of the trainers coach me during a "Last Chance Workout!" Well, today I got just what I needed. Bob and Dolvett took turns yelling at me to "Move faster, Work harder, Go! Go! Go!"

I'm glad it's done. With a little good TV, I'd do it again, too!
