53 days to go - A snow day

Treadmill Distance : 3.50 miles Duration : 30 min 0 sec Energy : 372 KCal Max HR : 150 Bpm Av HR : 142 Bpm Mile pace : 08:34 min/mile Mission statement : Theoretical : 8 miles in around 75 mins slow. Actual : 3.5 miles in 30 min steady. The best laid plans of mice and men! We had a pretty energetic day on the slopes today in around a foot of fresh snow. The flurries stayed around all day and made driving as difficult as they made the snowboarding fantastic. This coupled with some intense shopping meant that we got back to base too late to visit the gym, and with barely enough time to put some miles in on the treadmill. I reckon that the snowboarding probably counts as the four and a half miles I did not do, but I will try to catch some of the missing miles up tomorrow at the gym if we can get there. Surprisingly I have discovered that running in a treadmill requires a little practice. Today I forced myself to take longer strides which is slightly frightening as it increases the risk of falling off. Anyway the increased stride length improved my efficiency and my mbeat came up over 1.3.
