The weather was a beastly mix of rain, cold mid-50 degrees, and slight breeze. I then opted to do this run on the treadmill at the gym (I love running outside so much more). Yup, that 28-minutes thing was almost doing a mind bender on me in the beginning, but I have Kelly Rippa and Michael Strahan to thank for keeping me engaged during their show that morning...and looking just once at the time display--I only looked then, because Laura told me I had already completed 14 1/2 minutes...plus, when you're trying to read the closed captioning on the TV, you do that and just keep on running. I'm not going to say it was a cake run, but it was all worth the challenge...and next thing you know I was done! An additional small point, the music is kinda lame...I'll be substituting my own music for the next two runs.
