So at the hotel, north of Detroit. Its 67 back home and I am in a winter weather advisory. Ok nice. So off to the treadmill. I looked at it and said eh- I will do an easy few miles and then use one of these preset runs. The 60 minute one looks fine, I mean I am looking for an easy run so that would be fine. Its starts off like expected, 4.5 mph for a minute and then 5.0 for a minute, the 5.5 for a minute raising the grade to 2%. I am thinking, okay I wanted easy, but this is too easy... but I wait a few and then it jumps to 7.5 mph... okay now I am moving and the 2% grade made it not so easy. Then every minute the grade changes. 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 3%, 4% - you get the idea. Well after 20 minutes it got pretty darn challenging for that easy run I thought I was having as it went 5%, 6%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 6%, 7%... you get the idea again... it finally got down to the 4% and less in the last 7 minutes. So it was a pretty good run since it kept me on my toes (while I tried to watch the game show network).

Another day on the Treadmill in D-town. Looking forward to getting back to Ohio and off the treadmill.... but I will rather miss the game show network while running :)

Rainy run... my legs always feel weird after running on a treadmill for a few days and then back to the roads. Wonder why that is. I'm tired from travels.

Took a new route today, liked the benefit that came with that. The run was pretty progressive until a side pain, not sure what that was all about. It was not a side stitch, just a pain higher up, almost under the arm. Faded after a bit. Light rain felt good.
