At least when I feel like I'm going to crap my pants, I can do it on a real toilet. Although the other day, I had a questionable situation on the treadmill where I thought I crapped my pants. Thankfully, it was a false alarm. I finished the workout though, before I went to check :) <br /><br />I need that Britney song FOR SURE.

I had a speed workout and didn't want to risk any icy spots on the road/trails. Whenever I run on the treadmill, I definitely like to switch it up. Running at the same pace the entire time would make me yawn. <br /><br />Was Planet Fitness packed with like-minded people or did the weather and road conditions keep them away?

One of the best things about the treadmill is I can multitask--hop off, change the laundry, quiz spelling words, check dinner. I don't feel comfortable running in the dark in our new area. The roads are too winding and hilly, it is just too risky, so I can run when it is dark on the mill....

Glad I inspired you to get a move on it :) I'm honestly looking forward to my run tomorrow morning on the treadmill because I have a lot of shows I want to see!! I would guess that the majority of my runs on the treadmill are progression runs, because it just feels good to keep getting faster and faster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-31138491366112542692016-01-26T13:48:04.758-05:002016-01-26T13:48:04.758-05:00Water RIGHT THERE and bathroom RIGHT THERE are suc...Water RIGHT THERE and bathroom RIGHT THERE are such big pros! Every summer when I do my long runs on the treadmill those two things keep me going back to the gym for runs. Do you have an iPad? Just last summer I started watching tv shows on my iPhone and it made the time pass sooooo quickly! Two episodes of a 60 minute TV show and you're basically done with a long run!

I only use it for speed intervals or a random hills workout because I need something else to focus on to pass the time. Even listening to music and podcasts doesn't help. If the pace doesn't change more than once a mile, then I can't do it on the treadmill.
