Week 2 - Treadmills suck

Yesterday was a CRUNCH -- right after work I thought I could run, but then I realized I didn't just have class at night, I also had a graduation rehearsal right before, so I had to haul ass home to change and then rush into the city.

Ok, I thought, this is not a total loss. I can run on the treadmill at my temporary house tonight.

No. No treadmill. Treadmills are horrible. It was the worst running ever -- boring, to start, and weirdly painful on my legs. I quit after 6 minutes. So pathetic!! And then it was 10 pm and I didn't want to run in the countryside in the dark, because I don't have any lights, and also, coyotes.

So today I went out to run in the morning, my 40 minutes. I stayed in the local area because it has hills, and I think there are hills in the half marathon I want to do, so yeah, hills.

Hills are horrible. Almost as horrible as treadmills.

And I have to run some more tonight, because there is 30 minutes of running on my docket for today in addition to doing yesterday's run, and also 30 minutes of cross-training. I cross-train on a stationary bicycle, because it is less awful than the treadmill, and it's a very quiet machine so I can watch Criminal Minds while I'm working out.

Today I started to use music instead of podcasts because I need that beat (ahahaha). Here's the current running lineup:

Andy Grammar - Honey I'm Good (I kind of hate this song? But I want to make a dance to it because it's so quick and catchy)
V.I.C. - Wobble
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
Matt and Kim - Get It
Lilly Wood and the Prick - Prayer In C
Dave Basset - Ex's & Oh's
Doomtree - Gray Duck
Odesza - Say My Name
Mary Lambert - Secrets
Iggy Azalea - Black Widow
Jennifer Lawrence - The Hanging Tree (Pop Edit)
Milky Change - Stolen Dance

All that is 46 minutes, which is my max-ish time for now. I'll pop something else on there to round up to 50. Something quick and poppy.
