As many of you know, I try 1. to run for exercise, 2. eat right and 3. get rest as much as we can. So during the move, how well did I do? On all three, not so good. By my estimate, this entire move costs about 6 to 8 pounds...and that is trying to keep a eye on all 3.
So when we got here, we were excited that the temp apartment in this condo complex has running trails around the island park. Did I mention that the complex is actually at the top of one of these mountains? More later.
I was so excited to finally get out on the road for run. I got out there very happy with waking up early, ready to restart the program. I start down hill and down hill and down hill....
The slopes are, no kidding 40% to 70% grades up and down for large stretches of the trail. I think it has to level out right? It does 1 mile down at the dam for about 1/4 mile, then starts up again. Basically I head out on this elite hill profile, proud of myself and feeling great and get my ass kicked. The first thing I think is, "Great my fitness has gotten so bad I can't even run a hill." But then remember, that as I am trying to get your fitness back on track I am living within a monster hill profile....great. Half way up a no kidding 70% incline I stop and start walking. Buzz Kill.
The complex has a very nice gym, so call me "treadmill Davey."
