On a Treadmill.....

A will be proud of me today...I managed to stick to the schedule inspite of him travelling today - I have the tendency to slip back on the days he travels! So though I was at my aunts place and was feeling really lazy - I pulled up myself to run on my cousins treadmill....I don't like treadmills at all, I get bored in the first five minutes...but today I decided something little will also help.

So I decided I won't run today but just walk for about 20 minutes and that's it! But somehow after the first couple of minutes of warming up - somehow felt I had to run! So I did and it was fun - to the extent that it can be of course...;-). But I also realised another reason for being wary of the treadmill - you can't adjust your speed without a thought there....on the road, you can run at your own pace, but if you try to decrease your speed on the treadmill, you do it consciously and that makes you think about what your doing and then you don't want to do it - so I continued to run at the same pace - which also means that I did not manage to do 6/1*5 but 3/1*3 and another 4 minutes running - because it made me tire out faster. So its food for thought - maybe once a week I should run on the treadmill - maybe a good way to ensure the run is faster than the trot that I can sometimes get into!

On another note - had sent the blog link to some friends & some of them wrote back that this inspires them to have their own mission and schedule too!!! - That's inspiring for me too ;-).....Good luck to all of us and maybe I've done my good deed for the day too...!!!
