Keeping the treadmill interesting

So, the continued snow and, therefore, ice is continuing to keep me restricted to the treadmill.

It’s getting boring.

Today I was supposed to head outside for the first time in over a week but was, once again, forced to find some solace on the conveyor belt. The past week or so has seen fartlek, threshold and interval training in an attempt to keep from falling off the back due to boredom but today I had to just run 5K. Thank the lord for iPods.

Hopefully on Sunday I’ll be able to get out onto the road for a planned 10K.

Still, it’s nice to be back in the gym, training is feeling good and running is going well. I could do with an event to work up to but at the moment everything that I’m interested in takes place on a date that I already have plans. I’m pretty motivated at the moment though, got a skiing holiday coming up in 8 weeks or so, so that’s something to be fit for, but after that it’ll be time to find myself a nice 10K, then it’s on to the halves.

Bring on the halves.
