treadmills just aren't the same

Jan2620123:16 p.m.

Well as you know I was working in Switzerland this week so I took my running gear with me with full intention of running along the Rhine.

So there I was in Basel, ready for running but as I have zero sense of direction and the thought of being hit by a tram I decided the safest option was to hit the treadmill in the hotel gym

Yawn! I hate treadmills, so boring and just not the same as pounding the pavements.  after 5k I was totally bored and stupidly hot so gave up!  unless there is inches of snow and ice on the ground I will be avoiding the treadmill at all costs

  • crooxi 'You can't get lost running along the Rhine! - just follow the river! (Path along it.) Ah, probably you meant you didn't want to get lost GETTING to the Rhine........... Maybe a city map can help you next time. As for the traffic.... I confess I STILL look the wrong way sometimes, after almost 25 years here!' added 27th Jan 2012
