Yes it did. After about 20mins of running, the conveyor belt stopped moving. Like the good people from The IT Crowd would ask, “Have you turned it off and on again?” – yes I did thankyouverymuch, several times in fact yet the conveyor belt remained unmoved. I really have bad chemistry with this particular treadmill and I am taking it as a sign that yes, I really should take the running outdoors.
That said, Week 8 has been most satisfying. Pacing was good, speed was good, endurance was good, I was sweating a lot but I wasn’t tired and had a good time. I consciously chant I love running, I love running, I love running as I go along, and yes sometimes I substitute “running” with “benedict” – why not? That said, I still have lots to do, miles to run. I worry about my state of health constantly. I know that I can do better than this.
The Berry posted some really cool photos about running and exercise. You can see the full post here. Here’s a few more that I found on the Net to give us the extra push to get out and get moving.
