Breaking Treadmills and running in R.C.

Well on Sunday I ran for 25 minutes on the treadmill. When I hit the button to see how many calories I had burned the treadmill went on the spritz, so I just unplugged it and then repluged it. The building manager was real understanding when I told them. I believe I had ran about 2.67 miles until it went out on me.

Wednesday I ran around the town of Rockwell City. It was nice being back in the town I had called home for so many years. I managed to run outside for 2.6 miles, although I didn't time myself. I was sad to see so many businesses closed down and so many empty buildings. However, it reemphasizes why hardly anyone comes back to Rockwell City other than to get involved in the farming operation. All these empty buildings aren't providing very many opportunities for young people. Right now I feel ready physically and mentally to run a 5k. I do not anticipate many problems other than getting up on time (it's on a Saturday morning and I tend to use Saturday mornings to catch up on sleep.) I have been eating healthy and training hard so I am anxious to see how it all works out. I am planning another run today, so hopefully I can get on here later tonight and let all my followers know how it went.

P.S. Baseball season is almost here!!!
