Training During The Winter, Treadmill Alternatives
So up until the end of December I’d been sticking out running outside. Since the snow began to fly I’ve taken things indoors on the dreaded treadmill. 😉 Currently the treadmill running has been thanks to a great 3-month deal on a gym membership.

Anyone I know that uses the Internet should give it a listen.
