Treadmill boredomitis
Boredomitis. Is that a word? If it’s not then I just made it up, and it FITS!! I.hate.treadmills. 
Booooring!! I could only crank out 2 loooong miles on the treadmill at the condo before I had to get off due to being BORED OUT OF MY MIND!! I really appreciate the great outdoors that God made. And I will appreciate the outdoors EVERY TIME I’M ABLE TO RUN OUTDOORS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
I started out at 4mph, then bumped it up to about 5.5. Then (just to go ahead and get it over with) I bumped it up to 6.5. Scary! This is what I kept envisioning!
I finally got off after 2 miles and got on the stationary bike and did 6.69 miles WHILE READING!! FUN!!!
Did a little bit of strength training:
Squats-2 sets of 15
Bicep curls-2 sets of 15
Tricep thingies-2 sets of 15
Had a healthy day of eating while at the beach.
Breakfast-Oatmeal and yogurt
Lunch-Turkey Wrap
Supper-Grilled shrimp, salad, and cheese grits (well, “almost” a healthy day of eating)
It was another super relaxing day at the beach! Night!

I’ve also tried riding while reading, sure made it more interesting! About your comment on my blog:
Come to Bergen and I will be your private guide, and that’s a promise. 
1 – Yes you can!
2 – I use an app called Endomondo. It is amazing! It tracks any kind of activity, gives you maps, details. It’s brilliant!
Maren,
I have actually heard of Endomondo, but never checked it out-going to google it now.
I used to love reading on the bike. Now I catch up on some tv while I’m on the treadmill since I don’t have a bike and there’s no good place to hold a book on my treadmill
Ashlee,
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a kindle/nook display screen built into the treadmill???? Ahhhhh…thoughts of the future!
WoW – you’re eating SO healthy and working out SO faithfully. That must feel amazing. I need you to come to TX and help get me back on track!
But Barbara, there is a price to pay! Have fallen behind on blogging about teaching and the HOUSE IS DIRTY!
I wish I COULD come to Texas!
