Death to the Treadmill!

Ugh, another day, another workout on an effing treadmill. It is just so impossible to get motivated when I just want to kill myself staring at the little board of numbers oh-so-slowly climbing upwards. The tv does not help either. When I run outside, I do so without music. I completely zone out so I dont have to think about what mile I'm on. Instead, I let my mind wonder and wonder and wonder until I finally remind myself to look down at my nike+ device and go, holy shit its almost been 7 miles...almost done. But the treadmill is a constant reminder of suckiness. You're toes going numb from the track vibrating, your joints starting to ache from landing on a moving surface over and over and over and over. Dont get me wrong, treadmill are fine when you are just running 1-2 miles or for 20 minutes, but anything over 3 miles, especially 7-9 miles, makes me want to have a treadmill burning party!

This week so far:
01.04 - XT 30 min bike
01.05 - 4 miles
01.06 - 2 miles
01.07 - SNOWED IN (Jillian Michaels 30 day shred)
01.08 - 3 miles

Hopefully it starts to get warmer by the time I get up to the higher mileage of my training. Here's to a 35 degree February!
