Bye bye treadmill 👋🏻

I did it! I successfully completed my all my treadmill runs! Since this was my last one I wanted to make it a good one. I decided to challenge myself by completing the entire run with an incline, even if it was just a 1.0. No reason to go crazy lol. I also made a shift in my intervals. I started at a 7.8 and took it up to an 8.3. Even though my body was fresh and I was hydrated I still felt challenge. I wanted to finish strong! 

The treadmill training did help me with my mental toughness. All those times when I didn't want to run, when I didn't want to go fast or faster (which was pretty much most of the treadmill runs) I just remembered how great it feels to accomplish a goal, even a small one!

I won't miss the treadmill, but I'm thankful I was able to stay committed to my ultimate goal of a successful training plan. After all sometimes in life we do things we don't want to do because we know there is a reason behind the action. So I can say it was worth it! 

Tomorrow is my last training run before the race. Just 2 miles. I haven't decided how I'd like to run it yet, but it will be a great milestone!

2 more runs to go!
