Treadmill

When I woke up this morning, I was feeling unmotivated, and the wind and rain weren't helping. I've been spoiled lately with the great weather we've been having. I even considered skipping my run today, but decided to find a treadmill. I'm known in some circles as a fair weather runner. I found a treadmill at Avid, and did the following interval workout:

2k warm up
2:00 @ 10.8 mph with 1:00 rest
1:00 @ 11.0 mph with 00:30 rest
2:00 @ 11.0 mph with 1:00 rest
1:00 @ 11.0 mph with 00:30 rest
2:00 @ 11.0 mph with 1:00 rest
1:00 @ 11.0 mph with 00:30 rest
2:00 @ 11.0 mph with 1:00 rest
3:00 @ 11.0 mph with 00:30 rest
2:00 @ 11.0 mph with 00:30 rest
2:00 @ 11.2 mph
1k cool down

18 minutes total at a 5k race pace-ish. Had a short strength work out following, and ended up having a pretty good workout. A much better option it turned out than not running at all.
