Today was one of those days of jealousy…  I’m up in Cincinnati for a few days and the weather couldn’t be much different.  Today in Lexington it was in the mid-60′s and for the most part dry; however here it was around the upper 30′s and major rain showers.  Wouldn’t you know I forgot my jacket

This means no jogging outside today (as I had done the previous few days), but back on the treadmill.  Treadmills always blow my mind because I can’t find the right speed for the right time.  When I’m outside I can adjust easily to what I’m feeling, but on the treadmill it isn’t that easy.  Hopefully I can get out the rest of the week and next week to get ready for my first 5k coming up in 12 days.  Hopefully I’ll see some people I know there.

I’m slowly getting into form… eh, not really.  I know my priorities now are to work on endurance, but I’d think during that time I’d improve speed naturally, but to this point I’ve got nothing.  Some days I’m doing okay, other days I’m not… trying to figure out the combination that works… is it my diet, my warmup, my breathing, who knows… but at some point I’ll figure it out and get up to goal speed.
