Things People Do When They’re Not in School: Part 3 – Go for a Run in the Middle of the Day!0
I just got back from a glorious run! When I have school/work, the only time I can run is early in the morning or late at night – and since it has been so cold lately, I haven’t been able to run outside for about a month. Instead, I’ve been running on the treadmill at the gym, which I absolutely despise. For some reason I think it’s harder to run on the treadmill, despite everyone saying that it’s easier. I struggle a lot more on the treadmill. I think it’s mostly because I love running outside. I love feeling the nice cool breeze on my face. Also, I find it a lot harder to clear my mind on the treadmill. So yes, I was very excited today to be able to run outside in the afternoon when it’s not so cold out. And guess what? I shaved three minutes off of my best four mile time! So apparently the treadmill has helped me to improve my speed and stamina – so I can’t talk too much shit about it.
