Day 33 - More treadmill fun

I ran indoors today, on account of rain outside, and also because I wanted to run five 1-mile intervals at a pace I could keep constant through all five. Treadmills are good for setting and maintaining a constant pace. That is about the only thing they are good for. I meant to bring my iPod today, but forgot... again. I got to the fitness center around noon, so I got to work out with the lunch crowd. Noisy, loud, and smelly. But I was working hard so I was able to focus and block out the surroundings - until a guy with really awful gas started running on the treadmill next to me. Aargh!!! Fortunately I was near the end of my workout by then, because I swear I could hardly breathe. I ran my last mile REALLY fast and got out of there. Still, I covered nine theoretical miles (without going anywhere) in a little under 75 minutes.
