Intervals & Personal Space May 29, 2008

Today Sherene and I did our treadmills. I decided to do intervals for 45 minutes: 2 minutes jogging/2 minutes running. That turned into 4 minutes jogging/2 minutes running after about 20 minutes. After I noticed how close I was to 5 miles, I upped the time by 7 minutes. See? There’s that competive thing… This just further reinforced that I do much better with a distance goal rather than a time goal. Anyway, I do feel I was successful in balancing out medium intensity with high intensity running.
I still haven’t taken any measurements or weighed myself. Maybe tonight…
I have discovered a pet peeve I have with the treadmills: People standing between them to talk LOUDLY with their friends. There is really only about 5-6″ between the treadmills to begin with, so when super-skinny-loud-cackling chick is standing less than a foot away from me while I’m running, I get annoyed. I kept hoping I would drip some sweat on her so she’d get the picture. Even Sherene noticed that you would probably need ear protection in order to cary on any kind of conversation with her over a length of time.
On a positive note, the new tank worked GREAT! It’s my first technical tank, and I love it:
