5 miles

taking a cue from my blogtastic buddy, kb, i guess i'll start logging what the first song on my shuffle is for each run...

first song on my shuffle today: "uptight (everything's alright)" - stevie wonder

so there are few things in my life that i'm 100% sure of...the fact that i HATE treadmills is definitely one of the few.

channel 5 said it was 27 degrees when i woke up this morning. after yesterday's run in the wind and cold, i decided i'd try the 5 miles indoors. i made it 30 minutes on a treadmill before realizing that i'd rather chop off my foot and throw it at the girl in front of me than run another 2 miles on the damned thing. i ran the last 2 miles on the indoor track (21:17 just to make sure i got in 5 miles). felt pretty shitty up until the last mile. go figure.

i guess that was technically my very first "long run" of the winter season. now, i just have to make sure it's not my last.

total mileage for the week: 14.5 miles

tomorrow: rest day
