I have a nice 15 mile run planned for Saturday. One of my last big runs before my marathon. Since my crazy "injury"/"start marathon training all over ", I have done ALL of my long runs outside. In fact I can only remember three times that I actually ran on a treadmill in the last 4 months. And those runs were 5 miles or less.
How is this different than the past. Well let me tell you, prior to my crazy "injury"/"start marathon training all over ", I ran ALL of my long runs on the treadmill. Seriously, I ran 23 miles on...a...treadmill! At the time I was a treadmill lover. I enjoyed being able to watch TV, use the restroom, control my pace, and being in the AC. I "thought" it was ideal for those 4 hour long runs. When I started my recovery I decided to shake things up in a number of ways, one of them being the location of my runs. Which leads me to where I am, an outsider runner who dreads running on the treadmill.
But some hurricane hit the south and is now making its way into my neck of the woods; bringing tons of rain and thunderstorms (if it was just rain, I would be running outside!). Stupid Isaac!!!!!
