Good Morning

And a fine morning it is, too. Was 56 when I left the house, bright and sunny and very little wind. A beautiful morning out there. I did the 2 mile run and it felt good! It's harder outside than it is on the treadmill though. Wonder why. Anyway, I did it! Also did the push ups and sit ups when I got home. Listened to BR-549 today.

Oh, I like BR-549! Sounds like a great morning. I'm so happy that your running again. It feels great, huh?

I'm not sure why it is harder outside. Especially since you use the incline inside. I think part of it is just the medium. The asphalt is a lot harder. And there is no "give" do spring you forward. Interesting question! I'm going to try and look it up!

Here is a good point:

the movement of the treadmill also helps with your kick (the end of your stride when you lift your heel behind you). Its uniform surface also doesn't require as much work from your stabilizing musles that uneven terrain does (no road or sidewalk is perfectly smooth).

Please note: I did not spell "musles". That is a direct copy/paste!
