The treadmill.
Why is it that I can run 20 miles on the road with no problem - but it's like pulling teeth to get a measly 4 miles on the treadmill. All I can say is thank goodness for my Ipod. And why is it that hotels seem to think it's an excellent idea to put the treadmill right in front of a full length mirror? I really don't want to stare at myself while I'm going through this torture!! Well, I can check four miles off of that big guy last night.
Right now I'm watching the Today show and I noticed two things:
1. On Al's weather map of the West Coast - Forks, WA is listed. Is he secretly hooked on the Twilight series? Is he a closet addict? Why else would that small town be listed?? Hmmm...
2. Crazies holding 20 hostages at a TJ Maxx in Florida? Why does all of this crazy stuff seem to happen in the sunshine state?
Happy hump day everyone!

I just saw the TJ Maxx story too - so bizarre.
Great job on the treadmill. Oddly enough that's the one thing I miss from my gym. Weird.
Happy Hump Day.
I feel your pain. I am on like day 10 in a row on that thing. At least I can actually pace correctly on it.
Ugh the dreadmill.
Because it's warm and 'everyone' wants to live there! Of course.
Oh the suckmill, I'm with ya, 3-4 miles on it can be the death of me.
The treadmill is tough. Hang in there. Music and tv is key.
I am right there with you. I end up doing two of my three runs a week on the treadmill. It feels like they take twice as long.
I didn't hear of this shooting. Crazy!
Only douche bags NOT from Washington State are obsessed with Forks. It's acually a georgeous town. I bet Al's totally closet Twilight fan.
i am so with you on that treadmill. and if i don't have a mirror in front of me i can't do it. i have to be able to see my feet.
I can tolerate the treadmill, but it does seem to warp the time/space continuum. One mile on the treadmill feels like 2 on the road. As for a bike trainer, its more like a 10X factor and I just can't do it. I need the open road and changing scenery.
Completely understand the dreadmill dilemma. That's so funny about Al's weather forecast. Safe travels this week!
I ran 5 miles once on a treadmill. It was in a hotel fitness center. I was completely distracted by a blind guy who was working out on the machines and who handed me a towel when I was at about mile 4...how did he ever KNOW I needed one? and who was distracted by whom?
Oh, the treadmill. I feel the EXACT same way as you! Ugh.
I wasn't going to bring it up, since since you did first...it does sometimes appear that many of the crazy news stories come from Florida. ;-)
hahha i love twilight! and yah i guess that makes me a big loser!!! hahah the books are soo addicting
