That’s right. Somehow over the last 3 months, I’ve run more miles on the treadmill than I have outside. And I’ve come to accept that. I’ve had a treadmill for 12 or so years. I don’t remember exactly when we bought one, but it was sometime right before or after Shoo (who is now 12)…

Final Runfessions for 2017
Here we are with three days left in 2017. It’s the final Friday Five of the year and the final Runfessions. And I have to admit that I do have a few runfessions to share… As I write this, I’m 4.8 miles from 1400 for the year and 7.1 miles from 100 from December. I…
Tips for Marathon Training on the Treadmill
I was provided the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion in this sponsored post. Last winter, I did not have a treadmill. My old one died after 10 faithful years of service and my new NordicTrack Commercial 1250 had not arrived yet. Thankfully, I did not have a spring…
5 Reasons I’m loving my NordicTrack Treadmill
I was provided the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion in this sponsored post. I’ve had my NordicTrack 1750 Commercial Treadmill for about 5 months at this point, so I thought that for Friday Five I’d share why I’m loving having it. As treadmills go, I’m very pleased – the motor…
NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill Review
I was provided the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion in this sponsored post. Earlier this spring, I was fortunate to receive a new NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill. I had been without a treadmill for a couple of months and was absolutely ready to get a new one. I had been…
Weekly wrap – I taper even when I don’t train!
Last week was… interesting. I didn’t run a whole lot, but I’m going to claim that I was tapering for next weekend’s RNR DC. Or maybe I just had a lot going on and my running motivation ran away. Something like that. Also, it was a very typical Virginia March – I ran in a…
My new toy: NordicTrack treadmill
Disclaimer: I was provided the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill as compensation in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion in this sponsored post. I’ve been talking for a while about the sad demise of my old treadmill. I think I literally ran it to death as I used it for miles and miles of marathon training through winters…
RNR DC Half Marathon final long run + weekly wrap
Last week was crazy busy and Friday continued the trend. We dropped off the Pilot at the dealership at crazy early and then I spent the rest of the day at Shoo’s school. I run a book swap every February in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, so I spent the entire day helping kids choose…
TTT: Treadmills, Amazon Prime, No Kid Vacation
1. Yesterday was kind of a nasty day. The forecast called for 3-6 inches of snow and the schools closed for the day. Reality? 35 degree rain with some flurries mixed in. While I’ll run a race in that kind of weather, I’m not going to choose to go out in that (especially when everyone…
Running in Socks
I try to run at least one run each week barefoot on the treadmill. I feel like it helps me be really aware of my form and how my feet are landing. I find it virtually impossible to heel strike while barefoot as it just hurts too much. My treadmill has kind of a rough…
Running, Loving, Living Virtual Race Report
Happy Birthday and Happy Blogiversary to Toni at Running, Loving, Living. In honor of both, I ran her 3.5 mile virtual run. It was icy outside and I’ve been wearing Vibrams lately (pretty sure that’s not a good shoe choice for ice…), so I decided to do her race as speed work on the treadmill….
Isn’t that the way?
The heat here lately has been sucking all of my motivation to run long or run fast. I’ve been all about the short runs at a 10+ minute pace. Knowing today was going to be 78 degrees at 6:30 am and 80 degrees at 8:00 am, I wasn’t particularly motivated to get up and out…
