Treadmills and Time

On Thursday, I got on a treadmill instead of doing my run outside. That was the first time I had been on a treadmill in almost exactly a year. Crazy. But here's the really crazy part...

The last time I was on a treadmill, pretty much a year ago, my goal was to run through a commercial break. You know how long that is? I think a long estimate would be 5 minutes. That's not even a half a mile, probably less because a year ago, my definition of slow was even slower than my slow now. On Thursday, when I got on the treadmill, my goal was 3 miles. That was a mid week short run. How's that for progress? I ran for a little over 30 minutes and that was a short run. a short run. Cool.

Progress is a cool thing to track.
