Trippin' on the Treadmill for Ten

Aarrrgh!! Treadmill Torture this morning. Temps were in the teens (still are) and I'm not that tough so I opted for the treadmill. The first 7 miles weren't all that bad. I was using a treadmill that had been moved to a studio temporarily and the temperature was nice and cool. With 3 miles left to go, someone's personal trainer was distracted by my noisy footfalls (the studio has a wood floor) and asked me to move to the gym. Fine, only the gym was about 80 degrees even with the fans on.

I got it done. 10 miles in 1:40:10. About the same as if I had run outside. I loaded Jay-Z's American Gangster on my ipod and listened to that for the first hour. He steals a lot from Outkast and Kanye West, but it's not bad. It's 100% rap; all a cappella too, so it got tiring long before it was over. I started to feel like someone was screaming at me and when I'm in my "exercise/cardio zone" I have a hard time listening to what anyone says. So, I have no idea what the CD is about. ;) I haven't seen the movie either.
