Pure Hatred

To each his own, I guess, but here is the only thing I have to say today: you are absolutely dumb if you think running indoors counts ever as acceptable training.

I just hate it. Detest, abhor, etc., etc.. It’s boring, it hurts, it’s sweaty, it has no semblance whatsoever of “real” running, and it means you have to see, hear, and witness other people in the gym which means you have to put up with their loud music/annoying tv show/teeth-grittingly bad lifting form/cell-phone conversation/mirror-viewing-faces and don’t even get any fresh air. Maybe, just maybe, if I had a personal room (with several locks on the door) with just one cushy, comfortable treadmill and my own big tv (for which I do not need headphones) with a big, open window and a fan blowing in then, maybe then, I would run on a treadmill and not want to kill myself. Even if this opportunity came up and it was slightly raining and/or cold I would still run outside. I get a p-shiver just thinking about the treadmill. Yuck.

And also, if you need to get your dog a treadmill you are a bad, bad parent.
