Or that nice nifty new track. I'm trying to get out of my expensive gym membership, which I have barely utilized.

Not on the treadmill
Another revelation: I can't, for the life of me, run on a treadmill. It was very cold this morning, and Tom's invitation to the gym just seemed better than braving the cold crispy outdoors. I was supposed to do three miles -- piece of cake! -- but managed just two. Good gawd, that thing is boooorring! I'll remember this, and choose the cold next time.

Ditto on the tread. I have a friend that runs on that thing every morning, even when the weather is gorg just because it's "easier" she says. I say it's "harder" because I fight the constant urge to throw my water bottle at the meat heads down below me just for a bit of entertainment.
I hate the treadmill with the white hot passion of a thousand suns. No, really-I hate it. But I use it when I have to. I just found your blog and I really like it-I know the feeling of not being a "real" runner. I finished my first marathon and I'm still not sure if I'm a real runner..
I'm with you...can't do it! I'll take the cold anyday.
Ooo I feel your pain!! Just found your blog & I love it! My trick for the treadmill {we have LONG COLD winters in these parts} are books on tape. It's saved me these past few months!!
