    Thanks guys. Normally I run on the track at the high school near my house (open to the public after school hours) but it was killing me and I was reaching for my inhaler after like 5 minutes of running. Since it is getting VERY cold here I will be using the treadmill and will try the incline suggestion to see if that makes running outside (when it warms up) a bit easier. You guys rock!

    Changing up your workout routines on the treadmill will also help. Add some hills a couple times a month (for example, alternate five minutes at 3% with five minutes at 1%), and add some speed work a few times (for example, quarter miles or half miles alternating with slower intervals).

    Well the treadmills at my gym have that setting where you can choose a "destination" to run in and the treadmill incline changes up with the terrain on the screen. It's pretty cool. Guess I can give it a try next time I go!
