I don’t like running on the treadmill, but I recognize the value of doing something rather than nothing and the cold is really daunting these days. So this morning I headed up the single flight of stairs to my gym and gave the treadmill a try for the first time in a while. Rather than just doing a straight run, I figured I’d use some of the added features of the treadmill and did a hill interval work out. I hit snooze a few too many times (when did this start?!) to get in the full hour run that I wanted, but a 30 minute hill interval proved to be a good workout. Left hamstring is feeling a bit iffy, so I’m going to have to get back to being serious about my stretching and strengthening.
