I am done with this winter season! Winter has become like a terrible toothache that began as mere tolerable breeze and now it's full fledge pain in the behind. I am more than done with winter, every cell in my body wants warmth, green and grass. I long for sweaty days and flip flops and shorts. The snow has fallen and the lure I might have felt going out there in the 'elements' has long since expired. Needless to say I have been running indoors. What has not been expected though has been my newfound love of the treadmill. I have been going to the gym in my building for about an hour a day for a week now and I think I am actually liking the control I get on the treadmill. I can set it at a specific speed and just zone out with my podcast, or my playlists and feel my legs get stronger and stronger. I start each run fairly slow, and finish much faster which feels amazing. I walk away from each workout feeling so pumped. So there, I have learned something new and now I feel a renewed sense of freedom knowing that I don't need to fight the 'elements' to get in a workout.
