When I first started running I loved the treadmill, it was my friend. It helped me gauge my speed, let me run regardless of the weather and it allowed me to watch Paula Deen on the Food Network! However, over the last year I've started to run more and more outside and I've fallen in love with that. I enjoy running along the lake watching the waves, looking at the beautiful downtown skyline and my favorite - people watching.
Today it was hot, ridiculously hot, and I came to the conclusion that if I was going to run outside in the insane heat on Tuesday, that on Monday I was going to make the treadmill my friend again. I had to run 4 miles on the treadmill today and it was quite possibly the worst 4 miles of my life. Not because it was a poor run, I actually felt good, but because I was absolutely bored the entire time! I wasn't able to enjoy the run and take everything in.
Here's hoping that tomorrow goes well and I don't melt somewhere between North Avenue & Fullerton!
