As promised, I am continuing with my training (be proud).
I thought running period while traveling would be a challenge and that running on a treadmill would be even tougher, but when you get a good nights rest and have a view like this... it makes it very easy to be motivated and day dream OR in my case look for sea creatures to appear- didnt see any!
Yesterday I ran for 40mins, I would have stats but I didnt realize the machine only let me go for 30mins at a time and it was in Kilometers. So I am assuming I ran for about 3 miles. Yay me!
Today I needed to run 60 mins. I went down to the gym fighting it all the way and having my mind game until I saw a Marketing Executive from our company on the treadmill and I went right next to her to show her who runs. I forgot she doesn't wear deoderant and once I got passed the normal hotel smell of fish and waste burning plus the B.O, I was on my way and the time really flew by.
I also I figured out that I could change the Kilometers to Miles on the treadmill. I also brought my blackberry so after the first 30 mins I entered my stats into my phone and then again after the last 30 mins. Therefore; I am proud to report I ran for 60 mins- 4.64 Miles (12:49 mile) and burned 553 calories. Not too shabby.
Tomorrow is an early morning and the gym will not be open at 4am. There is no way in hell I am running on the streets of Manila- I can see the headlines now- American girl killed in Manila while training for the Phoenix 1/2 Marathon.
I will take my well deserved rest day tomorrow and pick it back up in Jakarta- hopefully the view from the gym will be as nice!
