Indoor Tracks are My Saving Grace

So I ran this morning.... in the indoor track... AGAIN...

The weather here has been so iffy that I cant risk running outside. On my way home I was trying to analyze the weather, until I saw the lightning bolt. At that point, I had to accept that I would be running on the indoor track. So.. I got dressed and ran 8 miles on the track. You have to run 16 laps on the track for a mile, so I ran 134 laps lol. I kept a pretty steady pace, until the 6th mile. I wanted to spike my heart rate up a bit and so I picked up the pace, and then took it easy on the last mile. I felt fantastic but my legs are a little wobbly. Now, most of you might think that it's boring, but it's actually not that bad.

So let me give you a little background on the indoor track. It's an old track with only two lanes and it is pretty much overlooking the whole gym. When you run around it you can look at all the workout fools below you. Since I have been working out at the gym more, I recognize some of the "regulars". Most of the time these "regulars" don't make any conversation with you, and you like to keep it that way. However, every once in a while one of the "regulars" wants to make some conversation. It's absolutely frickin obnoxious. Like my eff-off face doesn't tell you enough. Anywho, I had two of the "regulars" ask me if I had been running for like 3 hours. No, you moron.. I know you probably haven't been there that long. I politely told him no and went on my merry way. Tomorrow I swim in the morning, and it'll be my last day working out until Monday since I'm traveling this weekend.
