Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I was supposed to run today and was a bump on a log instead. It *was* cold and rainy out and it even snowed for a spell but I felt badly for not getting it done. I did, to my credit, prepare healthy meals for the week so that's good. I went to the gym to try and assuage these guilty feelings with some sweat and exertion, and ran 3 miles on the treadmill. Man, 3 miles on the treadmill is the equivalent of 7 miles outside, at least for me. Angry Ankle wasn't too happy with it either, and as much as I disliked the machine itself, it did feel good to run and I had good tunes to listen to (nothing on the 8 tv's looked interesting and I could care less about the Grammies) I burned 497 calories for the 3 miles, was at a slow 4.5 pace with an incline of 2 for most of it. This Life Fitness machine has a polar heart rate system so I would squeeze the handles every now and then to see where I was at, which was right in between the fat burn and cardio zones. Donna and Indy, I don't know how you can do the treadmill so often, I'd almost rather watch grass grow. BORING! Afterward Will and I went to Walmart, where he strangled me with a red oven mitt. Always an adventure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
