Easy TM run.

Around 4 pm I finally dragged myself out the door and went to my office and ran on the treadmill. It's snowy and cold here. There's not a lot of snow, but enough to be troublesome. Mostly there's just a lot of cold, which means the snow is not going away.

I really hate running on the treadmill. I don't know how I used to do it. When I started running 3 1/2 years ago, I ran exclusively on the TM for about the first 10 months as I recall.

I need to start running more for my sanity. I need the time alone to clear my head and pound my worries into the ground. This parenting thing is stressful.

I ran on the treadmill for over a year. I look back on it, and wondered how I didn't go crazy. I love the outdoors so much more! However, I'm not "blessed" with the nasty cold weather y'all are having out west. That would be motivation enough to spend some time on TM.

I agree- running is good for the mind. I have a sticker on my car "Running is cheaper than Therapy." I honestly believe it's true.

Good luck getting your miles in on the TM until the weather gets better.

Congratulations on stringing together a few solid days of running! I was checking colorado blogs to see how the weather is back there (we leave from Michigan in the morning and wanted to see just what's waiting...)

Happy New Year!

It is a good stress reliever for sure, but only if you are doing it for fun and not letting it cause the stress. You know what I mean???

I TM is definitely not the same, but I have been so thankful for it this winter. It has been so cold!!!

Here is to the best 2011! You deserve a really great year!
