Running in a fishbowl

I got my treadmill workout in today, 5.10 miles. I hated every step. At least I had no one next to me for the first 20 minutes but then it got busy and all the treadmills were taken. It was incentive to run a little faster even though I planned on making this an easy run day. It was so hot in there, as expected, and I just don't dig doing my run in a room with a bunch of other people. Running in a race doesn't bother me, everyone is kind of doing their own thing. I just feel like everyone is always checking everybody else out in the gym, probably out of pure boredom. I'd so much rather be outside, minding my own business, lost in my own world.

It's done though. I felt good. I'm always relieved when I get my run in on the road since it just seems so much harder to do even though I had extra time this morning. It's counting down now, I think there's only 9 more training runs before the big day. That's crazy!

The next 2 days will be exhausting. Meetings tonight until 9 (that's the official end time, which means nothing. I'll be working until midnight, easily. Then tomorrow is a looooooong day. At least I go home tomorrow night.
