I can't imagine. I like the gym usually, but I do notice one good thing about taking a walk/run/bike is that you are forced to exercise in that you always have to get home, you can't just hop off the machine...

It's really making me feel sad. :( Nilsa - Whoa! You must be serious! I am already planning on sticking to the indoors when it gets <i>that</i> cold ;) sizzle - This probably didn't encourage you to exercise outdoors though :P Jenn - I am in the same boat - can run a long time on the treadmill, but not outside. I think I'd like to run outside as often as possible, and on the treadmill when I am not feeling well (my bum hip). ajooja - Park running is A LOT different than track! Is it more of a trail? Those are tough. But it's probably good to do both! martymankins - Should that be my next Rock Band name?!?! I do like it. :) We have schools close, but I never thought about using them. The Chicago area als has a pretty extensive Forest Preserve system WITH trails. I was actually thinking how much I would love to run in the park - it would just be a REALLY sweaty ride home! ;) Alice - Yes. Yes. Yes it is! I am trying ti fight the urge to just use the treadmill... but I already feel cold weather creeping in! It's getting a little cooler every day :( Megan - Hopefully not a tick in your BRA?!?!? em - I think running may be the easiest sport to get bored in! Maybe I will have to try the boogeyman idea! And YES, I am definitely happy it was NOT in my mouth. EW. YUCK YUCK YUCK. Robin - Exactly! tori - Isn't it funny how people have a natural inclination to want to watch other people exercise? I think it is something we just can't turn off about ourselves. I am guilty of it too! I wish that bug would have been imaginary! Where was your bug?

I hate when you think there is a bug, but then think you are imagining it and then there really is one that you discover a bit later and then know it had been there that whole time. That happened to me this morning! Also, gross about the bug!

Then I had kids and it was either run while they were sleeping or not at all since my husband's schedule is unpredictable. Now, I actually prefer the treadmill! I tried to run outside the other weekend with my daughter and hated it! We have way too many neighbors who are outside at all hours watching us. I know they aren't actually watching us, but it sure feels like it. Probably when the kids are old enough, I will go back to running outside at 5 in the morning and then it won't matter, but for now I love my treadmill!

I think I have runners ADD or something, I just get bored. I looooove running at night. I get all freaked out that theres a boogeyman behind me and it makes me go faster. Novel idea until there really is one someday. Better in your bra than your mouth? Just a thought... (man, without knowing I was talking about bugs, that statement alone is kinda weird.)

You should be thankful for one thing: the bug was not a tick. I speak from experience.

Seriously, the idea of running outdoors when it's nice is tempting, but I think I would prefer the indoor treadmill. For outdoor running, we have a park here called Liberty Park. About 3 years ago, the city poured a buttload of money into it and made a nice track that circles the entire park (the park covers 4 city blocks north and south and two city blocks east and west). If it wasn't so far from my house, I would prefer it to running outdoors. We also have a high school across the street, but with school season starting next week, it's kind of off limits now. Do you have any similar parks or schools nearby to your home? That’s a catchy phrase “Black Bugs In Bras” Or the next cool new band name.
