After having some leftover pizza for lunch and fearing I’d packed on too many calories before tomorrow’s end-of-the-month weigh-in, I hopped on the treadmill and started a workout. And kept going past 3K (old news), 4K (better), 5K (the new hotness) and all the way past 6 km, then on to just over an hour. This matches about the same amount of time I spend doing a 5K run (split roughly between the run and walking to and from the trail), so I don’t feel it cost more in terms of typical time commitment.
I watched a bevy of videos, with the highlight (?) being a Corridor Crew contest on making really gross CGI. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been and some of the (universal) reactions were funny, but maybe not the best choice for a workout video. Still, the effect of so many videos is that I lost myself in them and turned out a pretty decent workout in return because I was allowing my mind to focus on things other than the physical effort.
