One of the disadvantages of traveling on weekend is I miss my long distance road-running. This weekend because of Rails Conf 2007, I had to plan my long run on a treadmill. So anyway, I got up at 5:45am and planned a 10 miler on the treadmill (few more weeks for the marathon). I'm a road-runner and have never run that long a distance on treadmill but decided to give it a shot today. After running barely 4 miles I started feeling bored. I browsed through all the channels and it was either 'Good Morning Weekend' or something else. I finally hooked on to History channel which was showing a great program on F16 & F18. But even that couldn't keep me around for long. The walls around me were the same, the scenery was not changing and I was sweating more than normal (what else to expect in a closed room!). I finally decided to stop at 7 miles, burnt lot of calories because I changed the gradient from 3 to 5 multiple times but it was quite boring!
I wonder how anybody can run
153.76 miles on a treadmill
