Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Topics. This week’s Tuesday Topic: What did you see on your last run? You can write about this, or any other running topic. Remember to link-up with Kim and Zenaida and the bottom of this post.
All of my runs for the past few weeks have been indoors on a treadmill, so I don’t have too many cool things to share about my last run, but I can tell you what I saw on my last treadmill run at Orangetheory Fitness.
Yesterday I took an OTF class in the morning. It also happened to be a benchmark day – the 500m row benchmark to be exact. I have a love/hate relationship with this benchmark, but whenever I see the rowers on a benchmark day, I get excited!
Sometimes when I’m on the treadmill at OTF I try to focus on what I call the “inspirational wall”. This is the wall of positive sayings that is behind the treadmills. I can often focus on this when I’m trying to take my mind off of a long endurance block, or a block with a ton of inclines.
Tell me: What did you see on your last run?

I would find the inspirational wall very motivating as well!
I saw my friend on my last run and that was epic! 😀
kookyrunner says
Always fun to run into a friend while out for a run!
Darlene S. Cardillo says
I love the idea of a motivational wall.
Not my last long run but one the week before we saw an eagle sitting in a tree. That was cool.
kookyrunner says
The motivational wall definitely keeps me going at times.
Catrina says
Those are nice rowers!
I last saw the sea – I love running next to the water. Sometimes I even get to see some dolphins!
kookyrunner says
Running by the water is always so peaceful!
Kimberly Hatting says
That inspirational wall is nice!!! I could use one of those in front of my treadmill. I blogged about my recent full moon run (Sunday evening), but yesterday I high-5’d the huge crane downtown 🙂 I also dodged a lot of puddles from all the melting snow…
kookyrunner says
Right? I love that wall and depending on which treadmill I’m on, I get to focus on a different part of it.
Deborah Brooks says
I do like the motivational sayings on the wall and I have those in my home gym as well. I saw lots of deer on my last run this morning
kookyrunner says
That’s so nice to have the motivational quotes on the wall in your home gym!
Zenaida Arroyo says
I could use some motivational mantras right now. Winter running is rough! Have you thought of getting the Peloton rower? I would but definitely have no room for it right now.
kookyrunner says
Totally agree – Winter running can really be hard, especially in February!
Jenny says
Well, my last long run happened to be on a trail, so I saw a lot of sand and dirt! And cool Florida plants that I don’t know the names of (someday I should go for a WALK on this trail so I can really slow down and look at everything.)
i like that inspirational wall!!! My gym needs one.
kookyrunner says
You can always see such interesting things while out running on a trail!
