A quick post today.
I woke up to this…
and this…
so I had to do some of this…
Key word being some. I was bored to tears. Even the 16 & Pregnant: Life After Labor finale couldn’t keep my attention.
I do have a treadmill in my basement. I’m very lucky to not have to trudge to the gym. And I have a TV across from the treadmill where I can watch a bunch of DVR’d shows. It’s a great set-up but sometimes I still feel like a hamster on a wheel.
Looking forward to running outside on Friday and Saturday!
You know what works for me on the treadmill? Really loud music on the speakers from http://www.powermusic.com. Check it out. It’s music with a set bpm and no breaks in between. It really works to motivate–did you know that people working out to music are able to do ~20% more time before quitting than those with no music?
I believe it. Thanks for the suggestion…definitely worth looking into. It’s going to be a long winter 🙁
Perhaps you should take up cross country skiing for one of your cross training days.
I should! People do that a lot at Forbidden Drive.
I feel ya! Treadmills are a great invention…but broing as h-e double hockey sticks!
