We spent the morning in Ketchikan, Alaska. It was very wet and cold. We then had to board the ship and head for Victoria, BC. It was supposed to be a nice trip down the clam waters of the inside passage, but there was a lot of wind which made the water rough. After lunch, I headed to the gym because it was too cold and too windy to run outside on the deck. Since we were a few days into the cruise and it was afternoon, the gym wasn't too crowded, though the Romanian brother and sister trainers were conducting classes. It was fun to run to the sped-up techno version of "Ice Ice Baby" they had playing. Anyway, since I only got a treadmill for 30 minutes at a time, I broke this into two runs separated by some light stretching, walking around, drinking water, and weighing myself. (Only 90 kg. Oh, yeah!) I went easy for the first 30 minutes and then was feeling good for my second run so I kicked it up a bit. I ended up running two 8-minute miles on that one. (Did I mention I love running at sea level?) I'd like to be able to do that without assistance from the treadmill and then keep it up for a mile or two more.
