5 Miles on the Treadmill

I've been so busy with various distractions that this is the first time in at least a week that I've made it to the treadmill to work out.  Only a 5 mile run, but at least it was better than nothing.  Maybe it will inspire me to get busy the rest of the month.  I have 5 marathons coming up in January so I need to try to stay at least somewhat ready!

Treadmill Again

It was a slow and relaxing treadmill workout, not going for any kind of speed.  Just hoping to keep moving for 5 miles while watching Big Bang Theory and running to a crazy playlist on my phone.  Too cold for man or beast outside. Too dark too.

Not much motivation lately.

Treadmill 5 Miles

I'm not very motivated this month.  It's dark and cold outside.  But I forced myself to wander downstairs to the treadmill here at work.  Not the best run, but better than no run, I suppose.  I had some interruptions.  But did finish 5 miles.

Treadmill 5 Miles

I'm back up in Deadhorse for all of December.  I'm still trying to pull myself together after getting shaken vigorously by the 7.0 earthquake that knocked me off my feet on Friday, the 30th.  I barely made it up to work because the quake tore up the Glenn Highway, closing it in several places, plus the airport itself was also closed.  But the airport opened at noon and I hopped in the car, hoping the road was also passable.  I got to the airport and caught my flight.  But I think I'm still shaking just from remembering that nightmarish incident!

I took a couple of days off from running to settle my nerves.  But today I decided to start training again.  It will all be on the treadmill this month because running outdoors in the dark on the ice road is not really possible.  I felt OK and had a fairly good treadmill run.  I'll try to run every day this month if possible.
