I agree with KSH!
KSH,Wahine, V, Bluetree, RNR, RunningMommy- EVERYONE is so very helpful here. I don't think any of us come across as know-it-alls. Some people do know more than others, and that's OK- cuz we learn best from the experiences we have (and the experiences of others). It's nice to have a forum to discuss these things!

And I don't love running on the TM either, but sometimes it's the only option. This weekend is a 13 miler, and since the forecast is predicting freezing rain- looks like it'll be a two and a half hour dreadmill run for me. Sometimes it's just unavoidable... at least it's a better option than not running at all. That's why they make ipods and wonderful music for me to run to.
