No, I didn’t actually go to any of those places yesterday but according to the treadmill I ran on today I “ran” through them.
I had an easy run on the schedule and since we got another round of snow last night (ugh!) I knew that I wouldn’t be running outside today. It wasn’t because it was too much snow, but at the time I needed to run the wind was pretty rough and the snow was blowing in my face.
To the treadmill it was!
Wes told me about this feature on the treadmills at our gym that is called Around the World. You basically set the treadmill to the amount of incline you want. I selected a 2 to give me a bit of challenge but nothing too tough on my body.
Each of the intervals only lasts about 30 seconds, but it switches it up the entire time. The first 20 minutes were titled “Europe”, the second “Africa” and then finally “Asia.”
I wanted to try and take a picture of the intervals but the whole thing of me running and taking a picture just wasn’t going to happen.
I am not quite sure how accurate these were seeing as I’ve never been to any of these places, but it was fun to do something different to switch up the time on the treadmill!
This was the first time in a while I actually stayed on the treadmill longer than Wes did. It felt strange. This whole marathon “taper” thing puts us at much closer level these days. It’s nice. Ha!
I finally brought back a familiar face last night. Smoothies!
My lovely concoction consisted of:
Frozen Strawberries
Oats
Vanilla Protein Powder
Glutamine
Chia Seeds
Xanthan Gum
It was delicious and a reminder that I need to make these more often!
Final thought of the day. My mom was sending me some pictures last night because she wanted me to save them for her until she got her new phone. She sent this one.
Not the greatest picture and for some reason we look like we are in a bubble BUT it made me think about getting my bangs back. Thoughts?
Have you ever used pre-set treadmill courses?
What’s your worst haircut mistake? I chopped all mine off man years ago to almost my ears. NEVER EVER again.
I once cut my eon bangs.NEVER AGAIN
I used to have bangs and didn’t mind them but I remember getting annoyed by them so I grew them out. Now I am itching to cut them again…it’s a ever ending cycle for me!
I got a really short haircut just a few days before my wedding and it was horrible! I was going for something edgy but it just turned out weird, the angles were off and the back was all messed up! I made the most of it but man was it awful! Then I took it one step further a few weeks post wedding and got it “fixed” at a hairdresser and then dyed it purple! Eek! Not a great look! But we live and we learn 🙂
Wow you cut your hair a few days before your wedding!? You are a brave soul! I got mine TRIMMED and highlighted about 2 weeks before just so It was fresh but had time to fix anything if something went wrong.
Donating my hair to “Locks of Love” my senior year of college was great, because it gave the hair to a good cause and at that time no fees were attached, but I got the worst haircut ever as a result.
If you like bangs, go for it! Mine quite behaving and I grew them out years ago. The length varies, but going back to bangs is not on the agenda.
I am nervous. I remember being frustrated with bangs with running so I haven’t decided what I am going to do yet. That is so awesome that you donated your hair! What a great cause!
How fun that you can set certain places to run through on treadmills. Such a nice feature. I can’t believe it snowed in some places the other day. How crazy, it’s spring time. I donated 13 inches to locks a love 2 years ago. But my worse haircut was probably going to a beauty school(I know my first mistake) right before a vacation. Well they cut a piece very short and every pic I have a piece of hair sticking up. I definitely learned my lesson. Glad I have a really good friend in the area that owns a salon:) I think your bangs look good. Sometimes I will get my bangs cut for a nice change.
I know I really thought we were done with the snow, but I guess mother nature had other plans! That is so amazing hearing about you all that donated your hair. I don’t have long enough hair, but thinking about a small change!
This was the first time I had used a program treadmill workout. I always like to throw in different things!
I’ve had a few hair disasters which is why I place it so safe. My most daring thing in recent memory was bangs. They were fun for a little bit but took forever to grow out!
I know I usually try to play it safe too. I am so scared of horrible haircuts!
I don’t mind some pre-set treadmill courses because they keep me on my toes, but I hate running on the treadmill in general.
Yes it is a necessary evil sometimes. I try to run outside as much as possible when the weather cooperates. I have learned to enjoy it more especially after being injured for what seemed like an eternity!
