W9r1....hot!

I had to run on my treadmill tonight which is in my shed/hubbys mancave that has no windows that open and is nicely boarded out. Wow was it stuffy! I knew 5 minutes in that I was going to struggle, I seemed to watch every minute tick by and by the end I felt  nauseous and exhausted. I had to keep telling myself 'if Eddie Izzard can run 27 marathons in 27 days across South Africa I sure as heck can run for 1/2 hour in a little warmth. Not a run I enjoyed but another run closer to graduation!

It is a shame the room is stuffy; otherwise having a treadmill at home is a great option. Sounds like you'll enjoy the outdoor runs more for now.

Not what you're looking for?
