Eight- Yeah, it snowed here. I was actually ready to rumble and wanting to kick some serious tail. I didn't care that it was going to snow, I was going running. Then I started watching the weather report. Eh, okay started having some doubts. "No, no, I'm totally going. No excuses!"
I wrote out my route. Laid out my clothes. Everything was all set. Then the alarm clock rang and I looked out my cold bedroom window to a pitch back sky and frost. ICK! Now, if you didn't read my little blurb about 4 miles in the rain, now is the time to scroll down to see it. Images of the 4 mile run came flashing back. If 4 miles was that bad then 8 miles was guaranteed to be twice as bad. I wave the white flag!
I tried to go running at the gym later that night. I figured it may actually be a good thing. A good way to keep pace at a longer distance. Oh how WRONG I was!
Can I just say that there is nothing interesting about running on a treadmill. It is perhaps the most boring and frustrating experience ever. I made it 30 minutes and 3 miles before I called it quites on that too. I once heard a comedian say that running on a treadmill is a metaphor for life, "I keep running and running and I can't get anywhere. No matter how hard I work, it's like I'm running into a wall." Yup, would have to agree with that.
