Today I ran on the Treadmill it was blowing outside and I didn't want to run in the wind, So I ran at a 4.7 pace, I sure like running outside much better but it is nice to have a TM as a back up to keep the endurance building.

Good job! Way to run on the indoor torture chamber.

I don't know. I don't really like the treadmill, but can it really be considered torture? If so, those guys a Guantanamo got it all wrong.

I hate the treadmill. I would call it torture. There is nothing like running outside and knowing as far as you go you have to turn around and go back. Idaho can be really bad with the weather and wind. Is pocatello really windy? I grew up in Idaho Falls and it seemed it was always blowing. Keep up the good work. I think that its great you have picked up something that you and your husband can do together. MY husband always tells me he will run a hundred yards with me and thats about it.

Ali, yes it seems like there is always a wind of some sort and for running with my husband I used to be the one to tell him I wouldn't even run to the corner with him and then a reality check happened I couldn't run and keep up with my kids so I had to find something that would help me with keep up with them, And Kory just happens to love running so he is a great encouragement without being pushy. Where do you live now.

Good job getting it done on the treadmill...yes it's pure torture in my book!!! I always quit after 2 miles or take breaks after each mile and I still hate it!!!

I live in Spanish Fork now. I've lived in Utah since 1996. After I graduated from high school I wanted to get out of Idaho.

I have been married for 10 years and have 4 kids. My husband works in law enforcement so his retirement is what is keeping us here right now.

Oh, the dreadmill. Its a love hate relationship for sure. Good job getting those 2 in though! I cant manage more than 2 lately without losing my mind. But, I prefer that to braving the wind and cold! Great job being consistent and fitting it all in!
