Woke up at 4:45am to thunder, lightning, pouring rain and hail. NICE :( Just gave up and ran on the dreadmill and watched all the pundits on TV try to guess the election today. I ran 15.12 miles watching 4 different networks. I hate running inside. By the time I finished and came upstairs it didn't look too bad outside but it was too late. Maybe I'll run outside tonight if it doesn't snow too bad.

I am nowhere near ready for 15 miles on a treadmill yet! I am going to brave the cold and STRONG wind and run at lunch outside today (only 4-5 miles, but at least I will get out). Hopefully I have the right gear in my bag for the conditions.

Nice run Bill very nice. I braved the weather and it wasn't to much fun but manageable. I stayed warm the whole time, but was soaked.

You ran 15+ miles on a dreadmill? That's crazy! :) in a good way!
