I set out this morning to do a ten mile run. It was cold and the roads were icy and I didn't feel very motivated so I decided to do it on the treadmill. I put in the 1995 Orange Bowl ( A great game where Nebraska beats Miami in the final minutes of the fourth quarter to win the national championship). The game was so good that I just kept running and running. Ended up doing 13.1 miles. I tacked on the 0.1 just to make it an official half marathon. I have lately been doing a lot of TM running while watching football. It has been a lot of fun, but I think I need to get some of these long runs in on the road so I will be obeying the training principle of specificity. I need to be prepared for Painters next month.
