And so it begins...

Contrary to my musing yesterday, today my marathon training truly began. It was a four-mile run on the treadmill amid the scenery of UW's Half Acre Gymnasium. Took me 35 minutes, 1 second. That's an average of around 8:45 a mile. As I said in the wake of yesterday's aborted workout, you've got to start somewhere.

I hate running indoors but I hate freezing the cilia of my lungs even more. Weather.com said it was 2 below zero when I left the office at 4:30 for the workout. Call me whatever you want, just don't call me a frozen-lunged fool.

And if anyone out there in blog land has an idea of how to post a spreadsheet, I'm all ears. Or eyes, as it were. I was thinking of posting my training plan.

The music: Part of 1 hour workout C. I succeeded in yanking the iPod out of the little slot on the treadmill and on to the floor at 7 mph. Thank goodness for iPod cases.

perhaps if you saved your spreadsheet as an image and then uploaded it as a picture?? maybe if you saved it as a PDF? I dunno...worth a shot.

I was thinking what Tiffany said, re: saving it as an image. Or you could rebuild the table in HTML, but that's a big pain in the rear, even if you're completely HTML proficient. Maybe check into Google Docs?
