After 8 consecutive weeks of treadmill running at around 53 mpw, I'm itching for the weather to warm up enough to help clear the streets. A runner runs best in a more social environment with proper time and space perspectives, which outdoor running has over the treadmill. Also, the long run is much more palatable with a variety of scenery. My longest on the TM has been 10 miles, and that one took a lot of mind games to get through. It's March now, things should slowly change, but Timmins is what I call "one deviation" colder than Minneapolis or Ottawa. Meaning that it is uninhabitable by most standards. Next winter...snowshoes!
