Lying in bed listening to the rain the idea of joining the local gym to use their treadmill seems like a good idea but...

If it was 8 miles I'd feel the drive was justified as io could fit in other tasks too, but this one is so much closer. On the other hand, if I drove a bit further there's a gym with a pool...

Have you run on a treadmill before? I have a (simple) treadmill at home and I almost never use it. It feels much harder than running outdoors 😔

I had a phase of going to the gym about 20 years ago, I wasn't too keen on the treadmill, boring, but I loved going on the cross trainer (and watching Jeremy Kyle 😳) 😂
