The other day I did about three miles on the treadmill
because it was super cold, icy and dark outside and I am super clumsy. That
combination would not have made for a successful run in my book. So I decided to
use my treadmill. I personally am not a huge fan of the treadmill so to make it
easier for me to get up and use it I thought of all the pros of treadmill running:
1. I don’t have to worry about how I look- I can
just get up, throw on my running shoes and I’m good to go. I don’t have to
worry about the fact that I look like a half asleep crazy haired girl because
no one is watching me. (Except for the cat, but cats are judgmental no matter
what.)
2. I can run in shorts and a tank top when it is snowing
outside- I don’t like running in with
layers because I end up extra sweaty and stinky at the end of my run, super
uncomfortable. I also feel lighter and faster when I wear shorts so it helps me
get more out of my running.
3. I can watch TV while running- When I’m on the treadmill
it sometimes seems like time is standing still. So turning on the TV or
watching Netflix on my phone helps the miles pass by more quickly.
That’s about all I got. I really
prefer outside running but I am grateful for the treadmill on those days where
going outside is not really an option. Something else that helps me while on
the treadmill is bringing a towel to cover up the display. If I don’t cover it,
I end up watching every .01 mile that passes and time goes even slower. If
anyone has any other treadmill running tips I’d love to hear them too.
Some
random happenings in my world recently.
I
found winter Tupperware! It’s sad how happy this made me. (you can't really tell from the picture but they have snowflakes on them)
Went
on a beautiful snowy walk with the pup.
The
walk was extra awesome because it made Hershey do this when we got home.
Hope
you are having a great weekend!
