I can’t remember the last time I ran on the treadmill.  I think it was in March or April.  I had forgotten how much I hate it…

1. It’s hot and stuffy in the gym
2. There’s only one (good one) & I have to wait til it’s free
3. It takes forever to go the same distance (I run slower but it feels faster)
4. I have to drive there so run time is reduced by adding travel time
5. It’s BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6. It costs money to buy the TV shows to download on my iPod
7. I costs money to belong to a gym
8. I have to remember to charge my iPod

But you gotta do what you gotta do…

1. I get to watch my fav TV shows (The Good Wife, Criminal Minds, Law & Order…)
2. I bump into folks I know there
3. If it’s cold or raining, I can still run
4. It saves the soles of my running shoes
5. I don’t have to worry about what to wear
6. I can do it at any time & don’t have to worry about darkness
7. It’s safer than running on the side of the road
8. There’s always water & a bathroom close by

BUT I STILL HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Yesterday I ran 4 miles on the treadmill and it took me a long 58 minutes!)

Happy Running (outside)!
