Runner’s diary, Wednesday

I didn’t get on teh road yesterday, despite hte nice weather, because I was stuck at home waiting for PSE&G to come and check out our air-conditioner. I ended up spending the morning watching MSNBC and working on a column on the economic stimulus checks most of us have started receiving.

In any case, the rainy weather today kept me inside on the treadmill where I ran five miles in 42:20 — or an 8:28 pace. I tend to run faster on the treadmill because it forces me to keep up, whereas, outdoors I can moderate my pace to account for any aches and pains.

Music: Duffy, Rockferry (highly recommended if you like British soul singers from the Sixties like Dusty Springfield)
