1/5 Run - Treadmill

Another 5 miles @ 1% on the treadmill. 6.6 for about .2 miles as I got started then down into the low 6s, high 5s, bottomed out at 5.2, average was 5.5 or 5.6. I really had trouble this run, just didn't feel it at all. I blame the first day back at work and walking in my boots. :) Had some acid reflux by the end of the bottle of water, that I felt like I needed a lot of.

I'm going to have to get some better headphones for the iPod/iPhone. The new headphones that shipped with the iPhone have shorted on two runs, and this time I wasn't able to get them to work again till they dried out. I think it's the microphone/clicker, and I'm hoping that's not completely cooked, since it doesn't register clicks anymore.

It was a good people watching night. I've been going enough that I'm starting to see regulars, which is just interesting. Especially when they're running faster than me. :) The fast gal was there again, and looked liked she had wiped herself out.

My Garmin lost it's mind and either picked up some on elses HR monitor, or I had the HR monitor in the wrong spot for a while. Very odd.

TV was pretty good for this session. 2 and a Half Men, which I don't normally watch was pretty funny. I do have to say I wondered about the channel selections after the guy ahead of me got of of his TV equipped treadmill. I looked up and I'm looking at naked, sweaty men writhing around on the ground in an embrace. Turns out it was UFC or something like that. :) Worst Week, which I had never seen before was on. Lord I wish I could have had a remote to change the channel. I hated Meet The Parents, and this is that serialized. I just wanted to beat the parents to death with a shovel. Sorry. :)

Really busy too. Resolutionistas were out in force. :)

Love the term resolutionistas - that's the first time I have heard that.

Yes, my iPod playlist is 99% benign, but there are a couple songs on there that are cringe-worthy.

Can't believe how many marathons you are planning in the future, by the way!!!
