As you can probably tell by my pace, this was miserable. I'm hoping (and pretty sure) it had to do with the complete lack of motivation I have for running on the treadmill. I was planning to run a 5.8 mile loop at a nearby park, but it's pouring and the loop is natural trail (aka mud) ... also the sidewalks are covered in leaves and if you know anything about me, I'm a little accident prone even on non-slippery ground. I do okay on the treadmill if there is something to watch on TV, but the fitness room (aka treadmill, bike, and elliptical in a room with a mirror) at my apartment doesn't have a TV and my new ID isn't working yet for access to the gym on campus. So I fought motivation for 45 minutes, including about 10 walk breaks and finally just gave up. I am nervous about this winter ...
