I know, lots of people hate the treadmill because it's boring and offers no change of scenery. If you're lucky enough to have a YMCA membership, you have the option of changing the channel, what with those televisions mounted on the front.But if you've got your own treadmill and it's collecting dust as quickly as you're collecting pounds, try this and kill two birds with one stone. Just about everyone has a stereo that plays CDs, right? Go to Sam's Club or Costco (or even buy used at Amazon) and get a couple of audio books cheap. Stick the stereo next to your stationary running trail, fire up that bad boy and listen to your favorite book as you run away the pounds. It's like reading for your ears!
I'm running the Music City Half Marathon and I hope to finish in under 2 hours. If I have a shot, it's because I stay on the treadmill. Names like Grisham and Crichton will keep me there. Try it yourself!
