Well, at least I went to the gym last night. Pilates was tough and I loved it. as usual. After Pilates though, I tried running on the treadmill for the first time in ages... and I HATED it. I was so bored immediately! I couldn't even do it. I ran about 2.5 miles and gave up. Music wasn't helping. Knowing I should get in a longer run wasn't helping. Making myself feel guilty wasn't helping!
I never used to have that problem. I know a lot of people do, but usually I can just zone out and listen to my tunes and power through (even if it's not that much fun and I get in fights with the treadmill in my head because I think it's lying to me). The boredom last night was so intense, it was making me ANGRY to be on that thing! I guess I've really become accustomed to running outside only.
Tonight I went on a nice 5.75 mile outdoor run, and felt like myself again, thank goodness. At least I got one respectable run in this week.
