I could walk miles more outside than on the treadmill. By the way, doesn't it feel good to set your mind out to run a certain distance, then just keep going because you are feeling good? I suspect you would have never thought you would have thoughts like that before you started your weight loss/fitness journey. .-= South Beach Steve´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Logmylosscom/~3/HJqn_6E_mk4/" rel="nofollow">Life After the Hot 100</a> =-.

I now range between 6.0-6.2mph on the tmill (unless I'm doing sprint drills) which makes me SO incredibly tired and sore, yet my record for a 5K is 30:36 (under a 10min mile!). I hear ya! .-= PTG1002´s last blog ..<a href="http://destinationathlete.wordpress.com/2009/12/22/ugh-waste/" rel="nofollow">ugh. waste.</a> =-.

If I am outside it means I am pushing a stroller and I won't do that to my hamstrings again...it's been months and they are still tight and a bit sore some days. my treadmill gets boring and without my iPod it was torture but I have a new iPod now and been resting so I am actually ready to hit it! It's probably a good thing my hubs doesn't make things like fudge. I'd be in big trouble! .-= Cindy´s last blog ..<a href="http://mariposagirl.wordpress.com/2009/12/22/instead-of-a-dehydrator/" rel="nofollow">Instead of a Dehydrator</a> =-.

I made English toffee over the weekend (mostly for my FIL) and didn't even taste it (The Husband did the taste-test) until over 24 hours after it was done. And then I broke it into pieces for packing. And then I ate a lot. .-= Jane´s last blog ..<a href="http://yearofmovingforward.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-have-job.html" rel="nofollow">I Have A Job!</a> =-.

I, too, seem to be able to run faster outside. (Or maybe it's just during races?) I really don't like running on the treadmill, but sometimes it just has to be done. Do you have different cardio machines at your gym? Sometimes it's helpful for me to break up my workout: a segment on the elliptical, a segment on the stairmaster, a segment on the treadmill, and a segment on something else, like a rowing machine or recumbent bike. Ooo, that marshmallow cream jar fudge recipe is the best! My mom and I made it every year. I kept making it, too, but then when we moved to the coast, it started getting really grainy. I think the air is just too damp here during the holidays. (My toffee recipe doesn't work here, either.)

But unlike you i have that option because rarely is it too cold here to run outside. I think as long as you mix it up with outside runs when you can you'll be fine. But i found when i ran on the treadmill for two straight months over the summer when the temps were pushing 100 degrees that i lost so much fitness. See , the treadmill offers no resistance. Definately make sure you up the incline. I thought i was working incredibly hard on the treadmill for those two months. I pushed the pace , i upped the incline, anything i could do to mimick the road and i still lost fitness. It really hurt to start running on the road again. I found it alot harder mentally to run on the treadmill too. The monotony of it. And you can't help but feel like a hamster on a wheel! But treadmill is definately better than no running at all!! Whenever the weather gives you a break hit the road! You know i’ve had my run ins with treadmills and have sworn off them!
