I've done many a long run where I did part of it outdoors, then moved onto the treadmill to finish up. Mentally, it really makes a difference!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-62592853778848990332015-03-05T20:02:36.932-06:002015-03-05T20:02:36.932-06:00I salute you!

You rock, Emily! <br /><br />My indoor record is 10 miles, but it was broken up between the treadmill and an indoor track. I've maybe maxed out at an hour on the treddy. Even that is too much for me to take.

I am all about any kind of distractions on the mill to help ward off the mundaneness to any extent possible!<br /><br />Thank you for the well wishes for DC and for your wonderful confidence in me, as always. Likewise - I am SO excited for your upcoming circuit of NYC races across all the boroughs and neighborhoods.

It is so much easier to just throw on whatever clothes and jump onto the treadmill. Are you running the Illinois Half Marathon again this year!?!?!? And no worries on only doing 8 so far - you've been doing SO much other working out! Plus, you've got the entire month of March still to train!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-78138233823966062372015-03-04T12:04:34.574-06:002015-03-04T12:04:34.574-06:00Thank you, Kim!

I've been tempted to let things slide a little bit, thinking that I could make up for the lost miles later. But I think that just like in racing, it's best to run a negative split with year-long mileage goals. =D<br /><br />We don't have official rules about treadmill time in the workout facility. However, after my first 60-minute shift, one woman did ask me if I was done... and I said no, and kept on going. =( SO GUILTY!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-33782752975533755522015-03-04T12:02:19.989-06:002015-03-04T12:02:19.989-06:00World War Z would be a great way to take your mind...World War Z would be a great way to take your mind off the endless pounding of the treadmill!

Everybody kno...I don't get this running thing.<br /><br />Everybody knows that the best indoor workout you can get is to hike up the treadmill to the highest incline it will reach, grab on for dear life and speed walk for 60 minutes or longer. Day after day after day.

You have my utmost respect :-)<br /><br />I'm with you on my threshold for tolerance for too cold to run outside. Basically, at this point if I have to think about what to wear I don't want to go out there. Kind of makes training for my half marathon the first weekend in April a little rough. My runfession is that my longest run so far has been just shy of 8 miles.
