The first time I’ve used the treadmill in years today! But it was this or nothing, as it is just a tad windy out there 🤣. I think Homer here has the right idea, as it wasn’t much fun. I kept banging the emergency stop button, my watch had a meltdown, as did I - I was dripping! Bad Garmin recorded 2.1k then it all went pear shaped, and I have no idea how far I ran. But run I did. Staring at a wall, every minute seeming like 10 😆.
Hope everyone is staying safe 😊😊😊.

I was out in it with the dog. I got drowned 😤. Tsunamied by a passing double decker bus 😏. The hail was ‘orrible. Even the dog winced 🐕🙂
He loves vile weather unfortunately for me, and wanted to stay out. We were out for ages til I couldn’t stand it any longer. I was soaked through my coat and supposedly waterproof trousers.
We’re off out again now. I’ve got him til Tuesday. I hope to gawd the weather picks up 😀🤞🌝😎
Oh well done you! Nothing fun about being drenched to the skin, and you know it’s bad if the dog pulls a face 🤣. We didn’t really have any rain, just the wind. Yes, I really hope the weather picks up, I don’t fancy another treadmill session any time soon. Enjoy your doggy time! 😊
I use my treadmill on non run days for a half hour speedwalk before my weight training..that's boring enough, but gets the heart rate up 👍I couldn't run either thismornin I was too worried about debris or falling trees 😱
Did consider doing a run on the dreadmill.. but decided another strength training day would be okay,
I run so slowly on the treadmill I can read my kindle.. It's either that or stare at myself in the mirror and think.." who is that old woman who keeps looking at me?"
🤣 Reminds me of the time when I was chatting away to this woman in a store and she kept getting in my way every time I stepped to one side but then I realised with a bit of a shock that it was me and I was talking to my own reflection in a mirror 🙄😂
What made it worse was the fact I had an audience as a few friends had seen the whole thing and couldn’t understand why I was talking to my reflection. They were in stitches 🤣
Lol to be honest way back when I didn’t mind them, so I figured it would be just like it used to be, only better because I’m fitter now! Well, that was a load of old tosh 🤣. By hook or by crook I’m getting outside for a run tomorrow even if it’s just a tiddler! 😊
I used to have the same feeling about treadmill running as you, I hated it. But the last few times I used my treadmill, I actually didn't mind it that much. I set up a tablet before me treadmill so I can watch 'treadmill tv' (GoPro recorded runs so you can try to imagine you running there) and I play some music on Bluetooth earbuds.
I haven't run in a few weeks due to health problems of one of my cats, but I hope to re-restart soon. Had planned on doing a run yesterday, but my cardio-exercises (which I am doing since 1 week) had given me a tad too much muscle pain in the buttocks-region, haha.
Hi BlackScorpion! That was half the problem, I didn’t have any entertainment. The wifi at the gym wasn’t working on the machine, so I couldn’t watch tv on the treadmill screen 😖. If there’s a next time, I’ll go fully prepared. I’m sorry to hear about your cat, I hope he/she feels better soon. Ouch! No one likes sore buttocks 🤣.
