15.5 on treadmill at 8:00 pace.  I'm being more consistent at getting in miles, whereas I used to only run 3 - 4 times a week. I've blogged sporadically on here over the past couple of years, enough to be surprised when noting that I've never really put in more than 3 or 4 runs a week, and never any decent mileage. I've decided to try to up my miles and consistency, noting many bloggers who have made major improvements.

The consistency will pay off.

Well said Jon! Alot of treadmill miles, that is hard. I don't really enjoy the treadmill unless it is snowing, below 0 degress and windy. Then I will resort to the treadmill. I will even go out in 100 degree weather over the treadmill. But I am glad to see you getting in the miles.

I got in the treadmill habit by: 1) having young kids treadmill running allows me to be at home while running in the basement, 2) avoiding injury since I could just step off if I overdid things, 3) and as a good excuse for watching TV or DVDs. Now I run on the treadmill even at the gym, as the treadmills at the gym are calibrated very well, and they let you run at a decline.

I understand the whole treadmill at home so you can watch the kids- sometimes I wish I had one. Very convenient.

Yes I do admit sometime I wish I had one at home for the same reasons. What marathon are you running this fall?
