I used to prefer walking and running on the treadmill as opposed to outside, but now I prefer the outdoors. The treadmill has become so boring, and I call it the “dreadmill”. I listen to music, but I get so tired of just watching the time go by on the screen. I like moving towards something, like a mailbox or the end of a road. Today I tried to watch Netflix on my iPad while on the treadmill, but that didn’t work out. It fell when I was running, pulled the cord, and turned the whole machine off. I had to start my workout and time all over again. So, back to music it is. It’s just too cold to be outside – I’m not that hard-core. It really proves to me how much of a mental game working out is. The body believes what the mind tells it. It’s such a huge hurdle for me. I plan on getting back to being more intentional with my thinking. I’ve struggled the last couple of weeks mentally. Positive thinking does work – it has for me – but I have to be very intentional about it.
2 weeks until the Sarasota half marathon and 96 days until the Louisville marathon, so I can’t afford to miss a workout!
