    I wish I was running outside - it's supposed to be mid 30s tomorrow so I'll sneak out then. Today will be 3 miles on tread mill - 1/2 mile each for warm up and cool down and 2 mile run

    How hard to you find the transfer of outside and treadmill? How do you keep yourself entertained on the treadmill?

    I try to arrive 5 minutes before the hour so that I actually watch a full TV show...keeps me distracted pretty well. In the past, I was able to easily go back and forth....I'll for sure be outside next week so I'll let you know!

    I did 3 miles this morning and boy was it cold. Had a bit of trouble getting my legs to move constantly because of that fact. I was also really sore this morning from doing weights yesterday and did some Yoga to stretch out before my run. Tomorrow is aerobics and then a day off before my long run for the week.

    Have a good day.
