I have been for a run.....

Albeit on a treadmill...a sloooow 5k but 5k nonetheless and no stopping....

Getting a bath now and then putting me pj's on.

Feel so much better for having done that run....

better running in the warm though i bet rather than the cold and avoiding slippery bits at the moment much safer

sammy115

yes much safer......

Was much better once I had worked out that my ipod was on the setting that makes it change song if you shake it....it kept changing song every 5 secs......

and on the slushy mile snags...

Beanie - you really need to stop drinking spirits at lunch! ((hugs))

Sammy, my iPod defaulted to that setting after the last software update too :rotfl: really confused me for a while.

I find treadmill running much slower. Outside, 5k takes just over half an hour. On a treadmill it's more like 40 minutes. I can only think it's because you are propelling yourself upwards rather than forwards, and automatically shortening your stride because there's a big blimmin' machine right in front of you.

is that what caused it.....it really confused me too:o

took me 37 mins to do 5k....which is worse than my first ever 5k but then I had DD1 forcing me round last time and that was outside.....it just seems much more hard work on a treadmill but at least I did it without stopping or walking....

Just seriously need to keep it up. It is a great mood enhancer and I kind of needed to flog meself......

I think on a treadmill that boredom sets in so you're more aware of the time, when you're out and about you're distracted so the time doesn't drag the same
That's my experience anyway!
