F&%*#$% Treadmill

So, I'm starting a series of workout related posts (because it's my page, that's why.)  Read them, skip them, but I'd like to share, so whatever.

WARNING: Explicit Language ahead. (That's where I say Fuck a lot)

I've been having a hard week running this week. It's humid as hell and I can't breath. So today I decided I was going to dust of my treadmill (literally) and see if inside running helped. I usually run outside on Grant's Trail. The upside of running outside is that I don't have to stare at the wall in my basement, and, no matter how tired I am, I still have to make it back to my car in order to end my workout.

Let me set the scene. It's 9am, I've had to dust my treadmill, crawl under a train table to locate the cord, and move the stack of various things residing on it.
"Hello Treadmill, so we meet again."

4 mins in I hadn't even finished my warm up, and I was bored senseless.

My acid reflux has been acting up. (in fact, I was up until 1am trying to decide if I was going to turn inside out, or throw up, as I suffered the gnawing burning in my esophagus.)  GERD and Asthma go hand in hand, if you have a flare up of one, you usually have a flare up of the other. So, not only does my stomach hurt, but I can't breath.

It took me 2 1/2 miles (and an hour) to hit my stride.

"Fuck you treadmill, I fucking hate you.

This is so boring

Fuck you asthma

Fucking reflux, fuck you, go away

Can't fucking breath.

Stomach fucking hurts.

I hate everything.

I'm going to puke.

...maybe if I puke I'll be able to breath better...

Nope, still not worth puking.

Fuck you asthma.

I'm getting off this stupid machine after a mile."

It took me a little over a mile to finish my C25K workout ap on my phone.

"Ok, I can limp and finish 2 miles...

I can maybe add some running intervals in there...

I can finish out 2 1/2 miles. That's a good end point."

At 2.6miles I decided I could totally run another 2 miles without stopping once. (Up until then the best I'd managed was 5 mins with a 4-5min walking break in between.)

I didn't make it 2 miles, but I did make it 1 mile, without stopping. It took me a full 20mins, but I "ran" 20 mins without stopping.

Then I ate chocolate for lunch.

I still feel pretty good about myself though, so fuck it.
