I ran to the gym at 5am this morning. It's 3.5 miles there and another 3.5 home. For some reason it seemed to take longer to get there. Coming home always feel so much faster but maybe that's because it's pretty much down hill all the way.
It was nice to run a different route. I enjoyed the new scenery and had a purpose destination in mind. When I got to the gym, I worked out with weights for 20 minutes or so.. then ran home.
I'll run to the gym again tomorrow and probably the rest of the summer. I could also switch off riding my bike, running on the cross ramp then riding home. I'll probably mix things up over the summer to keep things more interesting.
I was thinking on the way home.. if I ran to the gym and home again 7.0 miles, then ran 4 miles close to home and then 1.5 around our neighborhood that would be 12.5 miles. close to a half marathon. So, that's the new running goal.. I'll start out slow.. and just add miles on little by little.. working my way up to running the whole thing. I want to run it at least a few times before October. My feet have to get use to all that running as I know I could keep going at a slow pace.
*Official miles to the gym 3.61 or 7.22 round trip. See I was close.. but a little more distance is good!! Makes up for having a slow run time..
It only takes 17:22 to bike to the gym but 34 minutes to run it. Double the time!!
