Total Distance
3.00

3 miles on the TM, at around 5.6 (10:42).  .25 warm-up and .75 cool-down for a total of 4, while watching the Biggest Loser. I must say I think this is the worst season yet, I don't like ANY of the people on there!  Tonight was ridiculous.

In a separate note, I must first say how incredibly happy I am to be running again.  Soooo happy. But, now on to complaining :-) I really really really hate the treadmill.  It makes running feel like torture, while running outside is the most wonderful thing ever. The pace is either uncomfortably slow or uncomfortably fast, even at 10:42 miles.  BUT I DO LOVE RUNNING!

PS I can't WAIT until next Tuesday - LOOSSTTTT!!!!

I am totally with you on the treadmill. I detest every minute of it, but it sill gets done. I wish I had a dvr at the gym!
