ran at the gym. longer than I ever have.  I thought i was going to die.  When does this get easier?

i went to the gym today and did upper and lower body strenghth training.  i am hoping that if i do more strength training then it will improve my running in the future.

ran 3 today on the treadmill.  3 is easier than the 5 i did on tueday, but 3 is still hard for me.  just waiting for it to seem easier.  trying not to get discouraged, but wanting to see faster progress.  i think one reason it was hard today is because i did so much strength traaining yesterday. hmm.

In the afternoon, I ran 1 mile while I was trying to figure out if I could get my heart rate monitor thing to become accurate.  It is way off,  Around my block is a 1/2 mile, and it said it was 1/4 mile.  And it said that I was only going 4mph...I KNOW I wasn't that slow.

I need to return it and buy a better one...more money.

ran at the gym.   it was strange to get back on a treadmill after running outside so often.  I ran a mile at 8:45 pace. then on at 10:00 pace, and then the last on at a 8:25 pace.  8:45 and 8:25 are both by far the fastest mile I have ran.
