If you've followed my training for any length of time, you know how much I despise the treadmill. Every step feels harder than outdoors... and the miles tick by so very slowly. Even with the music pumping through my fancy built-in speakers, it's still just boring. With that being said, my last two runs have been on the treadmill, probably my first in over six months. I'm currently writing this blog post purely to procrastinate my afternoon run, which again will be forced onto the 'mill. {sigh} My hubby returns from his work trip tomorrow. I'll try not to look so eager to run out the door the minute he steps inside...

wow i totally should have joined the first weight loss challenge with a pot like that! Wednesday is the first day I can start running again, and with the temps we've been having, it looks like i might have many dates with the treadmill unfortunately :(
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the treadmill at all especially when I have something good to watch on TV!
ReplyDeleteI had just posted earlier in the week that I think my gait on the treadmill is unnatural. My right knee hurts almost all the time I run on the treadmill, but I can run on the track or road twice as far and that doesn't happen.
ReplyDeleteI live in a cold area where it's often too icy out to run. The local ice skating arena offers a run/walk track that's a neat place to run. Unfortunately, they close a lot for skating events, so I can't always run there.
I need some serious distraction to get it done on the treadmill! I try to tape a lot of shows so I can watch them then!!
ReplyDeleteIs this first round 7% or 4%? Just checking!!
I just signed up for round two, need all the motivation I can get at the moment and I should be over the cold I currently have by then as well as be able to start some light jogging again if the physio gives the all clear by then!
