Multi-tasking

So today I had to run another long run for training. I forgot to bring any outerwear so after my shift at my gym I closed the doors to the outside world and prepared for my run. Being that the gym is recently renovated I checked tvguide.com for the listings after my shift. I set up the 4 brand new flat screen t.v.s with hockey, curling, Pirates of the Caribbean and some celtics v. nuggets. The treadmills have receivers to plug headphones into so I was able to transfer from channel to channel as commercials came and went. I also had my 2 ipods (I lost one and bought a shuffle then found my other...cant complain) I had constant entertainment. So I embarked on my run but soon biddies were blowing up my cell phone, (one girl and my mom) and I found myself texting while running on a treadmill at a cozy 8:25 pace. I have no idea how my texts came out, probably awful. I ended up running around 6 miles on a treadmill and it wasn't too boring. The t.v. and multiple ipods may have helped, I'm just gonna have to suck it up and breath fresh air and run outside more...ugh.
