So today marked a rare day of cardio-only exercise:

5 minute warm-up on treadmill
10 minute mile
20 minutes on stationary (reclined) bike average 150 bpm pulse.

Sweat broken, heartrate ramped.

I do not enjoy running at all, which is why the back of my head keeps whispering, “You need to practice running.” I have no desire to get to running every day for long runs (say four plus miles per day). I don’t even want to get into two miles a day running. All I’d like to do is get to the point where I have some confidence in being able to run a mile or two in a decent time - say 16 minutes. And to get to that point, I’ve got a lot of training to do (if I really want to go for it).

We’ll see.
