| After doing some food shopping, I went to the Y. And I got a treadmill this time. Go me. But I hated every minute of it. I can't stand treadmill running. It's just so much harder for me. I guess that explains why I always run slower on it. I also tried the Garmin foot pod accessory again. Maybe I got a busted one, but it does not work well. It kept beeping and carrying on. And when I finished, it said I ran 81.01mi. What the hell? So afterward, I went upstairs to the track for a cool down walk hoping it would work better there. Yeah, not so much. Maybe I should send it back. And on that note, I've decided that my indoor running will be on the track instead of the treadmill. The treadmill just sucks. I figure I'll run by time and just assume I'm running 10:00/mi to get an approximate mileage for my log. But I just can't take the treadmill. I'm bored to death running in place, and it just feels harder because I can't control my pace on my own. Who runs the same pace consistently throughout an entire run? Not me. It's just not natural. And I don't care for running while covered in sweat with no breeze to blow it off either. So yeah, I'm leaving the treadmill thing alone. Activity

Down with the dreadmill!
Shame that your footpod is not working, call Gamin their customer service is A1
So you're saying you didn't run 81 miles on a treadmill? I mean what's wrong with that? Hahahaha.
Call Garmin their customer service is great. They should take care of you quickly.
I share your feelings about the treadmill, and I too would probably prefer the track.
It's funny i have not run on a dreadmill in ages!!! I just really enjoy the outdoor running even when its so cold.
Now i can't do either!!!! :O(
That sucks!!!
Keep it going girlie!!!
Read my blog!
I'm the same way. Many many years ago, when I first joined the Navy, I ran on the treadmill 5 days a week - 3 miles a day and that's all I wanted to do. No outside running, until I was forced to do so.
Now, I'd rather run in wind, cold, slight rain, etc than to step foot on the dreadmill.
Bummer on the Garmin footpod.
