Pain is having to run on the treadmill to get your 15 mile run in for the day. I pride myself for having a high tolerance for things like riding for endless hours on the trainer but yesterday I came to the limits of what I'm physically and mentally able to do. I had been watching the weather all day and there looked to be no end to the downpour that was happening outside of my window. I don't mind running or riding in the rain, but mid 40's and rain is just no fun so running for 2 hours in the rain results in even less fun. Knowing that this was my only day to get that run in (I can't make it up today due to how much time it takes) I gave in and headed to the gym to find a good treadmill. Once there, I found a treadmill and got started. It wouldn't have been so bad but now that football season is over, there's just nothing on to watch. One TV had golf (boring), another was set to HGTV, one was on Fox News (who watches that crap?) and another was set to VH1. So with limited bad options, it was about trying to keep some good tunes flowing through my headphones and do some people watching while not looking like the resident pervert. I think I succeeded in both choices but at the end of two hours I was done. I couldn't have done another 2 minutes on it if I had wanted to. I'm hoping for better weather next weekend.
