Because of the winter weather last week my running was minimal! I only got 9.1 miles in and they were all done on the treadmill. Like many people, I have always hated the treadmill but I am now open to taking a new approach about it. We have a fabulous Nordic Track that I am going to make more of an effort to enjoy and use to the best of IT'S ability. This weekend I ran on one of the pre-programed courses. It was the Maui Taco 5K!
This was the longest it has ever taken me to run a 5K! ( For whatever reasons, it always takes me much longer on the treadmill to run the same exact distance outside). On this particular course the inclines and pace were already pre-programed. I had never changed the incline on my treadmill before, so this was the first time I was running with it at a 6.5 incline. It was kind of fun using a pre- programmed course because I didn't really know what to look forward to. I didn't know when the pace was going to speed up or slow down. I am now looking forward to really using the ifit function and running on some other courses! Do you ever use pre programed routes on your treadmill? Which one is your favorite?
In other news, I got out on Saturday night and went to a concert. (I know these are horrible pictures)
The headlining act was Marc Cohn ( with special guest Paula Cole: You may remember her from her song which was the theme song from Dawson's Creek). Marc Cohn is special to me because he sang our wedding song "True Companion". If you've never heard it, you should listen to it HERE. The first Christmas we were married, I got my husband tickets for one of his concerts and for years we talked about how that was one of the best concerts we had ever been too. It was in a beautiful theater and still felt like such an intimate setting. As luck would have it, I was able to get tickets again to his show last Saturday! Again, it did not disappoint. I will never listen to "Walking in Memphis" in quite the same way again!
If you are married, what was your wedding Song? If you are not married yet, what do you want your wedding song to be?
