Need runner's advice....STAT!!

Heehee...so official right? So yeah...I'm a huge blogging slacker... And now Ryan went back to work up north so my days are whizzing by!! Blogging has to fit in there somehow, I'm just not sure where yet!! I'm having a hard enough time keeping running in there!

So back to my title...I need advice from all you runner pro's...I have been running on my treadmill, but anything over 20 minutes and I'm dying!! I think I'd be better outside with a view?? I think it's just the thought of the stationary running on a belted DREADmill! I like the treadmill for being able to set my incline up high and speed walk and feel the burn, but I'm thinking of beginning my running outside to really put in some miles...whatcha think? Is it normal for some people to really hate running on their treadmill? I really want to like running...so I'm hoping it's not that I just hate running! (Plus Ryan would totally kill me if I flaked out on something else, and our treadmill won't fit in our closet of "has beens") I also think my form would be better running outside, I feel like my form is horrible running on the treadmill...I feel stiff and compacted, which then gives me backaches and legaches...

Oh, what to do, what to do??? Where's my magic 8 ball?

  1. Run outside - it is so much more refreshing! And I promise you will come back with more energy and in a better mood than before you left!

    Treadmills have their time and place, so don't feel bad if you don't use it that much over the summer months. Come winter you will fall back in love with it all over again!
