I am not sure why.... but I have been getting some decent runs in on the treadmill at the Fitness Center.  I used to fight joining the fitness center all the time... but now that I am a member... I am so thankful.  Sometimes it really is nice to mix things up... I don't mind running on the treadmill watching the morning news sometimes....
Strangely enough... running on the treadmill makes me run a little faster outside.  I am not sure why that is, but it does.  The treadmill also gives me opportunity to do incline off and on and speed differences off and on and easily monitor it on the screen.  Its good training.
BESIDES the running aspect though.... (I mean what else is there besides that right?)  The gym is definitely a great place to get some cross training in!  So many options!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope everyone got a run in over this holiday season. ;-)  I sure did, it was a must with all the eating!  Today is a rest day so that is a little unnerving, but tomorrow I I am celebrating at the in-laws for my second Thanksgiving get together so I think I will throw a half marathon in for the morning run.  I have a feeling I may eat a piece of pie :-/

 Guess what?!!!  Its finally cold out there!!!!  It was a balmy 19 degrees here on the banks of the Mississippi! ;-)  The first 10 to 15 minutes make a person want to cry and wish they were still in bed... but then all of a sudden, it feels great!  Yay for cool temps!!!

Rest Day.... some days I hate it.... but mostly I actually like it.  It is my morning to sit and drink good coffee for long hours before church ;-)

I think winter is around the corner!!

Here comes winter everyone!!!  When you live in the midwest... you expect and you kinda love it... whether you admit or not. ;-)  Cant wait to get my run on in the snow!!!
