Today I did something incredibly stupid. I signed up for 2 new events in the next 3 weeks. A the Wrigley Start Early 5K, proceeds going to help prevent child abuse, and at Barb’s suggestion the Crazy Legs 8K in Madison on the 28th. Fortunately, Barb’s a real runner and is going to run them both with me.

As a result, I’ve found my true motivation—FEAR.

It’s the fear of not finishing a race. I went to the gym immediately!! It was super late for me and insanely crowded. I’ve never had to wait for a treadmill before. I'm never going that late again!

Workout:

½ hour interval work out alternating 90 seconds of running at 6 mph and walking 90 seconds at 4 mph, with a 5 minute cool down.

300 calories burned.
