What???
Ya, I started running on the treadmill again. It went good. NOT!! Up until 2009 when I was dealing with a bulging disc in my neck, I was running on the treadmill. Ok, running intervals on the treadmill is perhaps the most accurate statement. But once I injured my neck, the physical therapists said, "no more treadmill till your neck heals." Ok then. My neck healed, but I remained on the eliptical and never went back to the treadmill.
When I quit, I was interval training at 2-3 minutes from 5.5 - 6.0 mph with a recovery of 1-2 minutes at 4.0 mph....running upwards to an hour. Not great, but not too shabby.
Today? 2 minutes at 4.3 - 4.5mph with a recovery of 2 minutes at 3.5mph. OMG!! Ugggh!! Me, being me, just found my next challenge/goal. I WILL get back to my pre-injury interval speeds. Disclaimer: Unless I develop neck symptoms again.
Other than that, my workout was smokin today! I did five miles (between the treadmill and the eliptical) and did my weights as well; arms, shoulders, chest, legs, and abs. My reward? Twenty minutes in the sauna listening to some great tunes. A GREAT way to unwind.
