For one reason or another, I love running on a treadmill during games (usually football or basketball). Being that I am so goal oriented, it is easy to say that I will run for an entire quarter. You wouldn't think that this would allow for much mileage, but you would not BELIEVE how long a quarter can go on during football.
Today I went to the gym to run because it is so cold and snowy. I ran for 4 miles and then realized that the Chiefs/Ravens playoff game was on, so then I decided to keep running for the first quarter of the game. I hadn't run more than 6 miles since October, so this was a bit of a challenge and when one of the teams called for a challenge, I had to talk myself down off of a ledge. ;)
But I made it and ran a whopping 8.1 this morning! This brings the monthly total to 38.1, so I am already over halfway to my goal of 75 for the month. Whew! And now, I will enjoy the rest of the football game on my couch while icing my poor aching legs.
I like the idea of running during a game... I may have to try that! -Bridget
