Snow Day!!

Classes were cancelled today at Kent due to all the snow. I only had one 3-hour class later tonight, but I'll definitely take it. I decided to go to the rec and run on the treadmill. My car had a layer of snow on it then a thick layer of ice and then snow under that. After finally clearing it off, I headed out. The roads were pretty terrible, but luckily the rec isn't too far away. The parking lot was pretty empty as expected.

On the treadmill I did 5 miles in 37:52 (7:35/mile). I wanted to do more, but just couldn't stand it any longer!! They say you have to run faster on a treadmill to do the same workout as on solid ground. I always feel pretty tired even doing an 8-minute pace though when I usually run around 7-minute pace outside. Must be mental!


After I got done with that, I was pretty soaked. I got my swim suit on then did half a mile (32 laps) in the pool, nonstop this time. I have swam the past 3 days half a mile each. Monday I did sets of 10 and Tuesday I did 20 then 12. I concentrated more today on relaxing my stroke and making sure I got a good breath of air each time. Afterwards, I hopped in the hot tub. Nothing better than sitting in there looking at the blizzard outside!
