The Human Hamster Wheel

As I find myself unable to sleep, I have decided to give this whole blogging thing a try, as Lucas has graciously added me as an author on his blog.
I have been getting back on track with my running, albeit slow, after regrettably taking a week and a half break while at home. Today I gave into the pressure i was feeling to stay inside and run. I begrudgingly stepped up to the dreaded treadmill to grind out my first 8 mile run in some time. It went better than expected, though I was sweating bullets and was bored. I was not alone, however. I was able to run with Jade next to me, and Lucas not to far away busting out a monster on the elliptical. While I despise running on a treadmill, it was nice to get out of the cold for once. However, like a McDonald's hamburger, one run on the treadmill is enough to motivate me to stay off of it for awhile.
It has been great to be back with the team. I inevitably fail at running daily while I am at home. Having the team to run with helps out greatly. I can't wait to get out and race with them again.

Live long and prosper.
