I know, yuck! But I broke it up in segments and made it into a game (one mile faster, one slow, one up, one down, etc) and it was so convenient for water and bathroom stops. <br /><br />I'll enjoy reading up on your journey!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-64782853655936606712009-11-06T14:31:05.611-05:002009-11-06T14:31:05.611-05:00Great compilation of tips.

Movies have distracted me and watching a soccer game (or something) motivates me a little since those people are all running too. The tm and I are going to become good friends soon I feel...

And it helps that the treadmills at my gym have their own TVs, at least I can choose what I stare at.<br /><br />But like so many others, I still dread my time on the treadmill.

I'm pretty sure within the next few weeks thats going to turn into three on the treadmill and one outside :-( Boo. I hate the treadmill!<br /><br />I do like to switch up my speeds and do a lot of sprinting, that keeps things more interesting. I also usually don't run more than 3-5 miles on the treadmill, although that might have to change come winter :-(Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-75092653880133573032009-11-03T13:04:55.902-05:002009-11-03T13:04:55.902-05:00i like it, i like it a lot. i'm also going to...i like it, i like it a lot. i'm also going to be on the treadmill all winter long. but that's just the way it goes 'round here.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-53019195834031076532009-11-03T11:18:52.247-05:002009-11-03T11:18:52.247-05:00I have so much fun running against someone..
