8 miles. Treadmill style.

  • I KNOW. Who runs on treadmills when pretty, wintery paths are waiting for them? False. It was gross and windy and snowy out, so I opted for the gym (thankyouverymuch mother for a free pass).
  • 2 seconds fwd. 1 second back. How time works on treadmills. #fact
  • Firstly, it was supposed to be 15k, but apparently I don’t know how math works. So when I got 8 miles in my head, that was that. 12k done and done.
  • Running on a treadmill is infinitely harder than running outside. But I’m not going anywhere… #hamster
  • I chose the end treadmill (obviously - less eyes could see me there), but that came with a window reflection of myself running. Watching yourself run is AWFUL. My arms really jiggle. Like actually, the underpart of my biceps really fly around.
  • I am completely caught up on my celebrity gossip news. Poor Heidi and Seal - won’t somebody think of the children!
  • I will never forget headphones again when running on the treadmill. I will never forget headphones again when running on the treadmill. I will never forget headphones again when running on the treadmill. I will never forget headphones again when running on the treadmill.
  • The man next to me was wearing JEANS on the treadmill. I was more impressed by his apparent anti-chaffing skin than anything else.
  • I should have invested in LuLu Lemon. Everyone at the gym was wearing it. Every. One. Including myself.
  • I can’t believe how sweaty I got. It was weird as my treadmill was facing the road so I was watching snow pound the ground, but still sweating my buttocks off.
  • File under #thingsIhate. When the gym puts a 30 minute restriction on the treadmills (which I usually say screw that to!) but they had programmed the treadmills to turn off after 1/2 an hour. SO ANNOYING. I really wanted to take a photo of my final stats.
  • OHMYGOD IT TAKES FOREVER TO BURN A CALORIE WHILE RUNNING.  I would kill time by watching the calories burnt number - slowest, number, ever. It made me feel like never eating again. I kid, I kid, hmmm food.
  • I foam rolled like a ninja afterwards.

ps - look at the snow!
