Most times I would rather poke my eyes out than run on the treadmill but for some reason, I’ve been finding it to be much less intimidating than running outside. I don’t know if it’s because I can have more control of what I’m doing, but I had the best treadmill run after work today. I felt like I could have ran for another three miles, but knowing the Army 10 miler is just around the corner (Sunday!) I kept it short: 3.0 miles in 27 minutes.
Maybe it was because it was one of those treadmills with the fans that blow right on you. Maybe it was because I was watching the NY Yankees vs Texas Rangers game. It could have been because I ate some Fage Honey yogurt as a pre-run snack.
Maybe it was because I had a great day overall, so it would only make sense to end it on such a high note. Either way, sometimes you just gotta give props to the treadmill.
Do you have a love/hate relationship with the treadmill?
yay for a great treadmill run! I am NOT a fan of the DREADmill at all! Luckily we are coming into warmer months now so lots of running outside yay!
ReplyDeleteI like the treadmill because I can press buttons and push myself with numbers. I don't like how you are stuck in one place and not experiencing life as you would if you were outside. It really depends on what I'm in the mood for.
ReplyDeleteYup, love-hate! Blowing fans, ipods & tv screens help with the boredom. I have run 12 miles on the treadmill and it was simply hideous! I am so glad you had a great run . . . it'll help with the 10 miler. : )
ReplyDelete3 miles in 27 minutes on a tredmill is awesome!
