8 miles on a treadmill...

Last night was the first longer run I've completed inside on a treadmill. It's hard to get outside in the dark before or after work with the sidewalk/street conditions around our house - so I've taken to doing some training on the treadmill. Last night was the first time I've gone over 5 miles since training that was purely on the treadmill. It was a little long to do - but fortunately Gold's has treadmills with TV's and Closed Captioning. I watched Biggest Loser in its entirety. That's inspiration right there to keep going! So far, so good on the training - no aches or pains that have held me back, and each week I'm noticing my speed and breathing getting that much better. Last weekend I did 11 miles around the Charles River - from Watertown to the Museum of Science. That is probably my favorite run in all of Boston - great views of the city while you're on Memorial Drive and you're never alone on the course. Look for pictures soon!
