Day 5 - The Dreadmill

Found my moment to train while the fam went to family karate class. Again, I knew it wouldn't be long so I cranked it and averaged under 10 min mile the whole time. I really want to make this a habit (the speed that is)

I did the run on the dreadmill.  I know a lot of people dislike the treadmill and would prefer an outdoor run. Who wouldn't!  But if not going for a run is the alternative, then I am running on the treadmill! 

So instead I embrace the treadmill and see this time on it as limited but good since I can amuse myself by playing with the speeds or the inclines. 

Another advantage? I get to talk and coo at my baby while I run. Some may think it selfish to run and not give full attention to my baby while he is awake. But instead I put him on a playmate just in front of me and he intently looks at me and then at the dangling objects, then at me again, while I say "hi" and coo and act like an idiot while I am prancing on the dreadmill.

I hope that his young self sees his mom as an inspiration! If he can even see me that far :)
