It's travel time again. This time I bring my joggling to the great state of Arizona in the city of Phoenix. The 90+F sunny weather is a welcomed break from the chilly, cloudy winds of Chicago. To keep the joggling…
Today's joggle was 6.5 miles on the treadmill in 51 minutes. It was a sprint workout: 4x800 in 2:30 and 1x800 in 5:00 in between. All of it was done joggling. I'm not sure I ever joggled on a treadmill…
