AM-6.5 miles. Gordon/Main extension. Windy and snowy this morning but only the toes suffered a little this time as I ran in an older pair of racing shoes. One of the drawbacks of training in racing flats, however I would still rather have them over trainers any day. I just seem to run so much more efficiently and smoother in them.

PM-10.7 miles after work. Snow and wind again but I refuse to make a long term relationship with the treadmill this winter. I never seem to get the strength from training on one as I do on the roads and the hills. Besides it saves money on monthly gym fees..

There seems to be a political war between which is crazier. Running in the ice and snow, or running insane miles on a treadmill. I try to be bipartisan on the subject. Both parties are probably equally crazy.

I'll plead the 5th on the treadmill issue.

Steve, your running is looking terrific lately. Nice miles. You targeting something?

Rob- I think treadmills definitely have their place, such as in fitness testing, recovery runs etc. For me when I train on a treadmill in the winter it makes it too easy to rely on the machine and doesn't translate well to the road when it comes time to race. I think it's due to the fact that you can become really skilled at cheating by letting the belt give you a lot of momentum especially at faster paces. You also don't get the benefit of training different areas by running on uneven ground etc. Just my own feeling based on personal experience.

JPark-Thanks, I would like to run some faster shorter distances in the pre-season such as a 5 and 10k and then hopefully work off of that fitness and train more specifically for Des News.

Not me. If gay marriage becomes legal, I am going to sue for my right to marry my treadmill.

Hey now, this is a family oriented blog. I only run on female treadmills, and if I ever catch anyone on my treadmill at the gym, watch out.

At least Murphy's won't check it's watch when he decides to run a little farther than planned:)
