American Tobacco Trail Training Week #8

Training Schedule vs. Training Actuality

Week #8 10/3/2011

This week was pretty good due to travelling. I had intentionally switched my Saturday 7 mile run with Week #7 as I knew I'd be in Florida and didn't want to run 7 miles alone. So Saturday, Dawn took me to La Fitness and of course I had a little incident. Some idiot (sorry), left a treadmill on very slow speed so it wasn't noticeable and of course it was the one I went to use. So yes, I ate it on the treadmill leaving a giant bruise on the outside of my left knee and a few burns on my ankle and wrist. Fortunately, I didn't land ON my kneecap otherwise I might be in trouble for training. I definitely am laughing about it now, because I didn't really get 'hurt', just bruised and burned. I still ran 3 miles though! HA! Dawn did say that I ate it pretty gracefully, I pretty much tucked into a ball and rolled off while not dropping anything in my hands. I'm quite talented.
