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.

Calm down and enjoy the run without so much stimulus!
