I hate the indoor track. I hate running after dark in the winter. I am still not sure which is worse. But at any rate, I am determined to get two weekday runs in a week (among other exercising) once more, and since I have a meeting in the morning and dinner plans after work, I shifted Tuesday’s run to today. (Hopefully I can still get some gym time or a swim in tomorrow, but we’ll see.)

Anyway, felt as unmotivated as ever when it came to that stupid track. I think next time to mix things up I might try go to back to some of Fred’s old speed workouts (like the “28 minutes of hell” or the sequels involving 48 and 72 minutes), or something, because it blows. Also, several stupid people walking or stopping in the middle of the lanes marked for running. One of whom I almost ran into and I kind of wish I did. I really should’ve complained the management but oh well. I will be glad when newbie season is over.

  1. My experience is that it’s not very busy in the mornings — a few senior citizens walking on the outer lanes, maybe 2-3 people using the inside at most. It’s only after school gets out that the numbers start to increase…
