Another treadmill run.  The treadmill I was on was making me mad.  I've never used this particular one before.  I got frustrated because the buttons were hard to push and so I started with a 24 minute run and then when that ended, put in another 20 minutes.  But then for some reason it shut off on me after 2 minutes, so I had to go again.  And then I was watching a show (which I hardly ever do while running on the treadmill) and the volume kept increasing.  I'd turn it down and then it would go back up a minute later.  It would have been funny if it wasn't so annoying!

I think I'm going to extend my gym membership for another 3 months, just so I have the storm season covered too.  I'll be able to run outside much more often, but it does tend to get stormy in April and early May.   I'm just going to try to run outside on Sat and Sun.

What a strange treadmill. It seems to have had a mind of it's own.

I think you're wise to extend the gym membership. That way you're not at the complete mercy of the weather. I'm getting sick of the cold (though we haven't had much snow), but March is our snowiest month. I should try not to be too anxious for spring.
