ME on a Treadmill?

It is no secret that I hate treadmills.  I cannot stand to run on them!  They bore me and I lose motivation and I slack off.  I have a cut off of between 5-10 degrees before I will use a treadmill.  Last night, it was much warmer (32) but it was 8:30.  Normally this doesn't bother me.  I have no problem running in the dark by myself but I was freaked out and decided to go the safe root and hop on the treadmill.  I went to the basement turned on the TV and hopped on the good ol' mill for 5 mile run.  4 at half goal pace (7:50-8:00) ..... it was successful...1/2 mile warmup  1 mile 8:00, 1 mile 8:00, 1 mile 7:48, 1 mile 7:48 and 1/2 mile cool down.  Hopefully in Arizona I can hold that pace....I am in semi-temper mode!   Hope everyone has a great weekend!  I am ready to head out to run in 50 degree weather in January!!

  2. well speedster! seems like the treadmill works for you! I hated treadmills for the longest time...still do more or less. But they do force me to do speed workouts, with the numbers staring right at me.
