Four miles in 34:24 — splits of 9:10, 8:05, 8:25 and 8:45. Nice.

I stayed off the treadmill again today, but hit the gym and worked on my legs. I’ll get back on the treadmill either tomorrow or Monday. Stay tuned.

It seems like an eternity since I hit the gym — Jan. 30 to be exact — because of a stubborn cold that has affected my sleep and makes it difficult to breathe. I decided, however, I had to get back to the gym even if running was out of the question. So I did.

It was a day of weights and I hope the beginning of a new commitment. Then again, I’ve thought that before.

The first thing I have to say is that I can’t wait for the weather to break so I can get outside. I realized that today, pushing five miles on the treadmill. There is only so much political news one can watch with the sound off (I was listening to Glenn Greenwald’s podcast on the iPod and then some music), though the chattering classes may be best watched in silence.

My fiver today left me in a pretty good mood about my running, providing me with some much-needed insentive to keep pushing forward. It was the first five in a while and proved to me I could do it at a time when my runs have rarely been longer than four miles, rarely more than three when you get right down to it.

A quick run this morning — three miles in 25:45 — so I could get home to the unruly pups.
