Week 4 - Treadmills suck; 7 miles on the course done!

Had to skip my week 3 long run of 5 miles due to being away over the holiday. Today I jumped from 3 miles under my belt this season, to 7 miles. I was dreading it becaaauuuse for the last 2 weeks my runs have been on the treadmill - when I can get a treadmill! It's the new year and apparently every S. Boston resident has resolved to get their butt in shape. Of course I respect that but I wish they would do it by swimming or biking, because I can barely get a parking spot at my gym... let alone a treadmill. I've resolved to run a freaking marathon so get the hell off! Haha, just kidding... kind of. While not running at the gym, I'm doing my goofy looking leg lifts, etc. that my PT assigned me. Kind of embarrassing to do these in front of all the buff hotties who are pumping iron, but skipping them won't get me across the finish line.

Today's run with the team went great. It was snowing once again and about 30 degrees but I hardly noticed. My time continues to be slooooow and now my other knee started to hurt like crazy after about 4 miles but I'm confident that will all change.

Next week: 9 miles!
