Beige. I think I’ll paint the ceiling beige… May 8, 2008

Digg! this story.

After some errands this morning I pretty much forced myself to go to the gym today. At 10:30am there is no one there, so I couldn’t people-watch like I normally do. I decided that I had been lacking some distance in my runs lately so I signed up for 5 miles. I adjusted the speed throughout, trying to consistently push myself but still leave enough oomph to get through it. And oh yeah, I forgot to eat breakfast this morning. Ooops.
At about 1.5 miles I was thoroughly bored. I started playing with my Sansa trying to find something on it that would motivate/distract me. I found the “You on a Diet” audio tape that I had loaded earlier this year. Then I remembered that it put me to sleep. I decided that wasn’t a wise decision. (”I don’t know, she was running right along doing fine. Next time I looked over she was draped across the console snoring.”)
Even though it was a good effort, it wasn’t really that fun. I bounced around between 6.0 and 6.7mph. I’m tired, but satisfied that it was a decent run.
I did give me a lot of time to think about Tigger. I decided that I’m going to go the bribery route. He is REALLY food motivated, so I think that type of distraction would be really good for him/me. I am going to try and schedule all my rides so that Sherene is around so a) she can hold him when I get on and b) for safety’s sake. For days she’s not around, we’ll do ground work. Hopefully with a little practice I might even be able to long-line him. I think for now that’s a good plan of attack.
