I'm doing it! 18 miles on a treadmill. For some reason I am more excited than I should be. Maybe because for the last few weeks I have been dreading my runs because of the weather, and now, I have no weather to deal with because I will be inside.
Pretty boring right? Who cares! I'll be warm and er, comfortable? Maybe not comfortable. I thought about getting up and just toughing out another outdoor run but the thought made me pull the blanket over my head. Right now I suppose you could say the weather is "not that bad". It's in the 30's, overcast and only slightly windy. But it's supposed to snow today and get gusts up to 30mph. I went out to bring in some wood and concluded I absolutely did not want to run in this.
So I'm not.
The gym doesn't open until noon on Sundays, so that's when I'm starting. Hopefully I get the treadmill with the window view and not the wall. I'm charging my MP3 players and I put new batteries in my portable CD player....and bought a Stephen King audio CD. Hahaha. We'll see how that goes. I've got 3 GU's lined up and will have a couple of water bottles right there, and best of all, a restroom 30 ft away at all times.
This could be the beginning of a great relationship with treadmills. Or it'll be a disaster: I'll hate every second of it and never get on one again. There's only one way to find out.
