Faster than a marine...

This morning I dropped Jay off at work and, having limited ability to change my clothes or shower without using the gym, set off to run on the treadmill instead of outside in the 50 degree sun. Well, not the best decision, but not running because I wouldn't be able to shower would have been worse. So I laced up for my third treadmill run of the week...geez, for someone who hates running on the treadmill I seem to be doing a lot of that lately.

I take solace in two things - I maintained a faster and more consistent pace (and ran longer) than the two male marines to my right and also I way outpaced the female marine to my left. It always feels good to leave the few and the proud in my dust :)

Stats -
Miles: 4.01 (plus 1.3 mile walk in cool down)
Time: 33:35 (average 8:22 per mile for the run)
Location: Area 2 Fitness Center, Camp Lejeune, treadmills
Feeling: Competitive
