Today I was scheduled for a 3 hr 20 minute run. The roads and paths are still very snow and iced covered, so the treadmill was the only option. Last night I prepared the bottles of Perpetuem and was all mentally prepared to hit the treadmill.
Well, this morning it was a different story. No way was I going to run for 3 hrs 20 minutes on the treadmill -- just wasn't going to happen. If this was my first Marathon, I would have done it (I've done three (3) runs of 18 miles on the treadmill (3 hrs) over the last couple of years) -- but this is my 3rd Marathon and I'll just pick up the miles in March and April.
Running for 3+ hrs no matter where it is done -- is not my most favorite time, but running on the treadmill for 3+ hrs is just CRAZY.
So, I ended up running for an hour while watching The View and the local news -- fun times...

4 hours of any kind on the treadmill is very painful! I think of it as mental training as well as physcial. How much can you endure? Not helpful or worth it, I know. But I'm stubborn!
