I just get so bored... I did find recently during an electrical storm that doing my walk/run intervals distracts me and makes it more bearable. <br /><br />Have a great weekend!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-42496251359325957462020-09-03T20:36:39.399-04:002020-09-03T20:36:39.399-04:00A treadmill at home is really nice b/c it's th...A treadmill at home is really nice b/c it's there 24/7 and just a short walk downstairs.
