Run Lola Run

Uh-oh…what I feared might happen has happened! I like running on the treadmill! I just did 6.5 miles, and it was quite fun. I played with pace a bit to liven things up, and it was a great workout! I discovered that Alva Star makes very good treadmill running music. (I love John Hermanson…) I also discovered that I prefer the newer gray treadmill to the older black treadmill.

I’m sure I won’t be a total convert; I’m sure I’ll run on pavement again! But I might move my temperature threshold up a bit, to say 15 degrees. Or not. Part of it might be laziness, too—it’s so much easier to hop on the treadmill in my building than it is to get in the car, drive to Lake of Isles and do my run there. Anyway, we’ll see. My 6.5 miles today was a very fun workout.

One last thing I discovered—the aforementioned flying feeling can occur on the treadmill, too. Today it occurred during several Alva Star songs (“Only Dreaming,” “Ghostlight,” “Tornado Girl”) and “Toxic” by Britney Spears. (yeah yeah, I know...)

I love running
