6 miles!

Hello again!

Today was a momentous run, I think. When I left California, I got up to doing 4 milers 4 times a week...and back here in Nebraska, I have been doing 3 miles almost every day on the treadmill (too cold outside...plus I don't want to risk hurting the ankle again, like if I slipped on ice or something).

So today, I decided to do 6 miles on the treadmill. What was the hardest part was not getting bored! When you run for longer than 20 minutes on a treadmill, things become very tedious and boring!

To battle the boredom, I threw in 15 pullups every 5 minutes (did that 6 times), and also talked on the bluetooth. Ha! That's how you stayed enthused while on a treadmill!

Anyway, the 6 miles felt really really good! I think I will be ready to do sixes every day next week, and then bust out some 10 milers the next week.

I have beat the avulsion fracture! Hooray!

Hope your running is going good too!

Wow, you're making nice progress!

I agree, the problem with treadmills is beating the boredom - really works the daydream muscles.
