Rain tonight, so I did Spin for 30 min, then jumped on TM. Started at 6.7 & bumped a notch every minute until I hit 8.7, held for 1 mile, got some water & repeated same thing. This gave me a new apprecition for how I hung on & gutted out my marathon, as that was my speed for Mile 26. 1mile of that tonight was enough with a nice easy 2.5 mile progressive warmup. I was happy when the second round was done, quick cool down on bike, and now time for some hot soup and cold beer! There was no way to turn the speed display off on the TM, so I figured I would get a couple MP miles in ... surely these will feel much easier in April! :)

I've tried running on the treadmill with my eyes closed but that wasn't very successful. Keep mixing it up and it will get fun!

Eyes closed ... Good gracious! I have a hard enough time taking a drink or wiping the sweat off my forhead on the TM, without feeling like I am going to fall off. Not sure I will ever enjoy the TM, but I got my daily hour in. :)

Try reading...I have trouble at speeds faster than about 8:00 pace :-)

I've tried watching ball games on TV, can't even do that! I am hopeless on the TM, but it is only a necessary evil once in a while. The first half was easy, cuz spin class was going on, but when the music stopped and the room emptied, the sci-fi movie on the big screen wasn't much help!

I throw on a nice chick flick and it makes my dreadmill running enjoyable! Try that! haha! I bet it makes your workout that much more miserable!! :)
