Reasons why I like to run outside...

In response to Michelle's blog about running inside on a treadmill, these are the reasons why I like to run outside...
- The scenery always changes
- I actually feel like I am running somewhere (because I am!)
- I can control the speed (and I feel faster many times)
- I can run with somebody when running outside
- I can pick my route, it makes the workout more interesting

Of course, the treadmill wins in the winter.

I agree, running outside is so much better than running indoors. I feel like I'm inside all day at work & it's so nice just to be outside when I get home, especially in summer. I usually try to run outside until December. After that, I get passes to use the indoor track at the Petit Center. It's not as great as running outside but it beats running on the treadmill.
