treadmills are not my friend

i don't like them and i don't think they like me either, but the weather just isn't cooperating so i had to give in and run inside. it was the longest five miles of my life! blinking lights, thump, thump, thump... and on and on it goes...i personally think they are a medieval torture device not a training apparatus.

(this is a completely random picture of my boys bowling the other night because my post needed a picture.)

i suppose they do have their good points:

i can choose to run with no hills

i can maintain a more consistent pace throughout my run

it has to help the "mind" aspect of racing because it takes every ounce of my willpower to keep running on it

i didn't have to run with a windchill in the 20s
