Okay.  I did it.  I broke down and went to the gym.  We got a lot of snow today and we're supposed to get 4 more inches.  So I'm getting a membership for a month, but I forgot that I was supposed to go to the rec center to renew.  The lady was nice enough to let me in anyway.

Looks like a snow day tomorrow too.  I'm not sure how I feel about that. 

Workout:  2 miles warmup at 9:13 pace.  2 miles at 8 min. pace.  1 mile at 9:13.  2 miles at 8 min. pace.  1 cooldown at 9:13 pace.  The 8 min pace felt challenging, but sustainable.  I was, though, glad when the second set was done. 

Watched the first half of the Illini game.  Now I'm watching the second and hoping that they win...it's going to be close, whatever the outcome.

I L L I N I!

They won!  They've been having a good week.  Two ranked opponents in a row!

Nice treadmill workout--I did two--mile sets on the treadmill today too and they were tough. Way to go! I figured you would run a marathon on the Gazelle today...

It sounds like you really need that gym membership about now. Great treadmill workout. I feel the same way about 8:00 pace. I can do it, but I'm glad when it's done.

I'm going to have to start watching the Illini.
