Week 8 done, and I really don’t like treadmills!!

Today, as hubby's away, I decided to do my last 28 minute run on a treadmill, firstly, I've never run on a treadmill before (if you discount two minutes for a gait analysis) but I have walked on them and had a couple of concentration lapses and ended up in a crumpled heap on the floor behind the treadmill, so this run definitely exorcised the treadmill demons, I just really didn't enjoy it! Even in an air conditioned gym, I sweated so much more than I do outside and it just didn't feel as nice as running by the sea!

It feels a bit of an anticlimax finishing week eight in this way, but there's no denying that I still did it, I'm just looking forward to getting back to the beach with hubby and pooches next time for the start of week NINE!

Well done! I think it’s harder on the treadmill from the little bit I did for a gait analysis so you did really well 😃
