I suppose I could write about how cold it is right now in my neck of the woods. Here's that post in three sentences:
Fuck it's cold. I'm going to run inside. The treadmill sucks.
I'm going to write about my coffee pot instead. For the most part, I'm a morning runner. Unless it's single digit temps, icy, windy, or if I just don't damn well feel like getting up that early. Do I want to be a morning runner? Not really, but the logistics of the my life make it easier for me to work out at ass-crack-o'-dawn. Not surprisingly, it has become a little...ahem...challenging for me to wake up and run or go to the gym.
Unless, of course, I make some coffee.
Like many people, I need my morning coffee. Need. It. I'm a little OCD about my coffee, though. I can't reheat my coffee. Even if the coffee maker JUST turned off, I won't have any. Strange? Obviously you're new to ROATM. I'm strange, but I'm also a genius. Because I KNOW I can't turn down coffee and I hate to waste it, I set the time for 15 minutes before I am supposed to wake up to go to the gym. My alarm goes off, I curse at the alarm clock, think about hitting snooze, and then I realize.......
I don't want to waste this pot of coffee.
So I trudge downstairs, pour myself a thermos-full of the hot, brown nectar of the gods and I go to the gym.
And who says addiction is a bad thing?

Speaking of treadmills...I want one of these. Or at least I'd be more than happy to give a review.

Why don't you just run at lunch? Then you could be that hip teacher all of the kids look at while they smoke their cigarettes across the street from school.
How motivating, and miserly, of you!
I hate treadmills, but that's pretty sweet integration of technology from Nordic Track. Cheers!
I don't drink coffee so I guess I can't move to the Midwest.
That treadmill just needs a fancy holder for your thermos.
Ever thought of getting one of those thermos/coffee pot things?
I hate to agree with Viper, but I'm really liking that treadmill/Google maps thing. It's super spiffy.

Very funny, particularly since I suffer from the same thing in the Northeast! That's like a daily mantra for me lately
As long as it isn't a huge bag of Coke that is getting you on the treadmill, I say - go for it!!
If it is a huge bag of coke, sell some of it and give me some of the money
