Treadmill vs Road running

A friend asked me why I prefer running on the treadmill opposed to running on the road... well, here are my reasons...

• treadmill is in the AC -- it is HOT here in Texas
• I don't have to get as much together to go run ... I don't have to get the camelback, hat, etc.
• I can wear whatever I want (ie. sports bra and bike shorts)
• I keep pace better
• I don't have to pay attention to cars, dogs or whatever else is around me.
• I could watch TV if I want to.. watch some of the shows I have DVR'd. (aka. multitasking)
• Did I already mention ... it is not as HOT

The only reasons I can find to run outside are....

• I seem to run farther .. I guess you always have to get back home ..lol
• Sometimes it is nice to see something other than a white wall
  

Training Day 7

ran 2.72 mi on 9/9/2009 at 9:16 AM with a pace of 15'51"/mi Nike +

Today run I ventured outside and ran in my neighborhood.  It was HOT outside!!  I can't wait till Fall gets here !! 

When I got up this morning, I really didn't expect I would run today.  I was just feeling blah !  Then when I decided to do it outside .. well, I had to find the Camelback, then my hat.. oh and my shades ! That alone would have given me a great excuse to not go.. but I did it anyway!!  I am really proud of myself!!! 

Here is a picture from my run .. you can't really see it, but there are cows :)

Bike ride - 3 miles

Today it took alot of motivation to get on the treadmill !! We had a bbq and I ate way too much and didn't want to run at all !!! But... I got on the treadmill and did it !! ( I am patting myself on the back) I normally listen to an audiobook when I run, but today I decided to listen to a 10k training thing I downloaded on iTunes. I did alot better, felt like I got a good workout!

After I did my 2 miles ( wanted to do 4 but just couldn't do it) Kaleb wanted me to go run with him ... I told him I would ride my bike ..cause I couldn't keep up with him ! Soo, I rode my bike .. actually me, Rik and Hayley rode our bikes. We did 3 miles ! I am going to be soooo sore tomorrow.
