I am required for run (for work) a mile as part of my annual PT test. Its based on a points system that includes push ups, sit-ups and pull ups in addition to the run. I usually double the required 40 in the push ups and situps and the required dead hangs is 3. I usually do about 10-12. However, I completely suck at running and typically "run" the mile in around 10 minutes. More of a trot than a run but it is what it is. I would like to do the C25K program on the treadmill at home (convenience) however, the digital display has gone out on the treadmill, so I am in the dark about my speed and distance on the machine. I downloaded a Nike running app, and it has a beginner's running program but it looks like it starts you out way ahead of where the C25K program does as it has you running a lot farther and faster than what the C25K program appears to suggest. Are there any apps (iPhone) based on the C25K program that will work on a treadmill? Apps not going to work on a treadmill. You need GPS for it to work. Go outside, it's not that scary out here on the street. |

I would be smoked. |

Yeah, well check out pace vs. elevation. The road is "Oak Hill Road" - for a reason - it's a damned hill.

More of a brisk walk than a run but did something different Sunday morning:
Earned myself a couple good blisters: 
Walked from my house to my brother's house. Door to door. Always wanted to do it. So I did. Carried about 12 pounds; change of clothes, camelback, handgun, misc. |

And, honestly, my feet didn't hurt that bad - not bad enough to stop. I didn't realize I had blisters until I got where I was going and peeled the socks off. I'm surprised the blisters is a point of fixation. They happen. You telling me in all your years of running and hiking you never got a blister? Worst part about them is trying to resist the temptation to pop them. |
