It wasn't the rain itself that made me resort to the treadmill, but the thick mud that the roads around here quickly become when they get wet. It does make for a good workout because by the time you have reached one mile, you generally have about 3 inches of concrete-like mud hanging from each shoe.
I was extremely tired today. Too much stress too much loss lately. Not only am I sad from losing my mother but yesterday I lost a friend also. It seemed easier to just crawl under the covers and try to escape from my thoughts. But I finally forced myself down to the treadmill and put in a quick 3 miles. I think I needed that. I do seem to be sleeping better up here in Deadhorse. I'm not sure why, especially with the sun shining in the window since I have to sleep during the day.
The shoulder was pain free while I was running, so it does seem to be a good way to exercise that joint.
