A Quick Start

I am not a big fan of the treadmill, but I do respect it’s convenience.

I started at a quick pace – for me. I take much longer on a ttreadmill to warm up and I run quite a bit slower. But I wanted to make it a quick start, and so I did.

I adjusted to the pace quickly and at regular intervals, I played with the incline. In this, I divided time into sets of three minutes each, setting the incline for a minute each time.

It made the run perhaps less boring and in a way more mindful. Of time, of the incline, and of running at the same speed.

Save for the sound of the machine, I ran in silence and tried to empty my mind. But that was impossible. Thoughts flew around from left to right.

After the run, I did a circuit of medium intensity that rounded off the Tuesday morning.
