Winter Training

I haven't run outside for 3 or 4 weeks. I haven't run inside either. There is a treadmill in my garage that was given to me because its previous owner had stopped using it, but it is in pieces and I haven't yet attempted to put it together. I really don't like running on a treadmill.

I stopped running outside when it got too cold for it to be fun. When I stopped running I did increase the intensity of my exercise bike riding, but not the amount of time I ride. I'm still riding for 45 minutes--enough to feel like I'm getting a workout, but not so long that I can't wait to get off the bike. Riding an exercise bike is a really poor substitute for riding a real bike. Riding a real bike is fun.
