Rainy/Treadmill Day

It has been raining non stop outside for at least 5 hours now. (See the rain drops in the pool)?
I used to love running in the rain, but I've gotten wiser in my old age.
I went to the gym and did today's CrossFit workout of Back Squats, threw in some Shoulder Presses too, then did a recovery/easy run of 4 miles on the treadmill (9:11 pace). I have to remind myself that "easy" or "recovery" runs SHOULD BE RUN AT A SLOWER PACE. I always want to go faster during these runs, but that's how you get injured. So I followed the rules and went at the prescribed pace. I skipped the 4 x 100 meter strides because I didn't want to do them on a treadmill, and I figured the Back Squats worked my legs similarly.

Time to go spend time with the family. :) Have a blessed day!
