Treadmill pleasure to Torture

My first visit to the gym in 2014 on a typically busy Monday night.

At least I did it!

I'm trying to learn to breathe deeply and relax to stop myself getting a stitch or running out of breath.

The treadmill is not my best mode of running, for fear of falling off, making a loud noise, or tripping over headphones or being deafened by stupid tv shows on poor audio.

It's the best place to practice slow running.

A slow 9km/h start....1% incline, I look good. In the mirror.
The TV blared away with images of the dismal floods... But soon I lose interest. I managed to keep up to 3kms and then I started driving up the speed....10.5, 11.5...0.5km at a time..to 12.0km/h...starting to struggle, but it's already 25 minutes. No matter how hard I tried, this is what I can only manage





Need another visit soon to try another strategy, and to lower my cost-per-visit 😛
