Day #246: Runner milestone #2

So today there was 20-30mph gusts of wind with some rain, do Sarah and I did not run outside. We instead ran on the treadmill. The LONGEST 5 miles ever. Man did it suck. No fan or air movement to evaporate my sweatiness. Soooooo boring. I tried watching morning TV, but got bored with that. Then I moved on to listening to an ICU podcast on my iPhone which was more just background noise. For a while I focused on watching my legs running in the mirror - semi-hypnotized, trying not to think about how slow the miles were going. Then I focused on my breathing and that after this was all over I would get a pumpkin spice latte. It was awesome, or NOT.

Here's a picture of me flipping off the treadmill. I was trying to make an angry face, but that didn't go so well.
