The heat chased me inside this evening -- dangerously high temps and humidity didn't seem like a good time to be out and about. So I took my workout indoors to a treadmill at the St. Louis Park Lifetime Fitness. Might as well have run outside with how much I was sweating by the time I finished. Really felt like a mediocre run at best. Just couldn't get into it.
But I'll take my small victories, too: getting close to three miles, I was prepared to pack it in. Was already mentally thinking of good excuses to stop. It was hot. I was tired. I don't know what else, but they would have been really awesome reasons.
Instead of turning off the treadmill after three miles, I managed to convince myself to forge ahead to four. Didn't take too much extra effort or time in the grand scheme of things.
And, more importantly, I made sure to keep going even when I wanted to stop.
That's a very good thing.
Today's mileage: 4 miles in 38:40.
Total mileage: 165 miles.
