A tale of two treadmills
OK, it is well known that I don't like running on treadmills. No. I hate treadmills. There is nothing fun about running on treadmills. Running in place sucks.
But last Thursday, I didn't have much of a choice but to run on a treadmill b/c I didn't get out of work early enough to run outside. So, after a quick 1000 meter swim, I jumped on a treadmill for a quick 3 mile run.
Well, I wanted to run three miles.
The treadmill had a different opinion.
It died 15 seconds into the run.
So I switch treadmills. The new one didn't last much longer. I think it died after about a minute.
Instead of going for the treadmill trifecta, I called it a day.
And have been running outside since.
Why can't it warm up enough to, at least, clear the trails???

One of the treadmills at the gym at school would randomly stop. I usually take that as a sign from the universe that I get to stop :-) Good thing I am a slow poke or I could envision possible collisions with the console...
wow, i'm super impressed that you went running outside when the treadmills stopped. i probably would've just went home and watched tv.
