I believe treadmills should be classified as torture devices. Last night, I had planned to go running at a well-lit park, but I decided it was a bit chilly, so I headed to the gym instead. Bad idea! As soon as I fired up the treadmill, I was instantly and thoroughly bored out of my mind.
One minute on a treadmill is equivalent to roughly four billion hours. Scientific fact. Look it up.
I had planned at least 5 miles last night, but I just couldn’t do it. People-watching other folks in the gym didn’t help. Watching videos on my phone didn’t help. I simply wasn’t into it.
After 3.5 miles, I admitted defeat and decided to call it a day. Lesson learned! Just bundle up and run outside next time. I will aim for a distance run this weekend to make up for it.
