Why am I doing this?

Because it's my way of putting on my own oxygen mask first.

Outdoor Fartleks vs. Treadmills

Definitely outdoor fartleks. Definitely. The treadmill was SO boring tonight!

Last night:
We ran the same route that we ran on the first night of the clinic. I could swear that they installed a moving sidewalk since we last ran there. It felt so much easier this time. Fartleks were fun, in a twisted sort of way. I liked speed work better than hills. I found it easier to randomly sprint a given distance than to wrap my head around how far/hard a bunch of hills are.

Warm evening, 5.92km in 42:52.
Average pace: 7:14/km
Fastest speed: 18km/hr (3:25min/km)

Tonight:
Blah. Treadmill is boring. Even my iPod & Jay Leno didn't really help. It feels so much longer than any outdoor run. And I get so much hotter indoors. I really should look at getting a fan.

6km, 51:00
Gotta see how Roger Mac likes the indoors. Haven't downloaded this one yet. I think he thinks I only went about 60m.
