Fun on the treadmill...
So...today was the first time I'd ever worked out at a hotel I'm staying at! There were a lot more people in the workout room than I thought there'd be. I guess I'm not the only nut in this hotel. I'd decided beforehand to use a treadmill to keep up with the jogging/running I've been doing..."on the road" with my wife. I chose the "speed interval" program on the treadmill not knowing for sure the pace I was keeping "on the road" each day. I found out that I'm faster "on the road" than I was on the treadmill. I realized this about half way into my workout. It was a great feeling knowing that the next time I get on a treadmill (tomorrow) I will be able to push myself closer to my "on the road" pace!

So great to follow you on your fitness adventures, Tony. I love your enthusiasm for running; once you get the bug, it's hard to go back. I never trust treadmill paces; according to them I'm 1-1.5 min slower than my road pace. Congrats on your accomplishments! Jennifer
Awesome when you find out that you are actually stronger than you thought you are. Makes me think about how it's difficult to notice your own growth while you are in the middle of it. You need to step back or (in your case) look at it from a different perspective. Keep rocking it out, Tony. I love following your journey.
