Still winter

The high today was 27 and with the wind chill it didn't get much above 20. Combine those temps with the fact that I overbooked myself for the afternoon and that meant running on the treadmill at the Y tonight. Someone recently tried to persuade me as to the benefits of the old treadmills versus the new ones. I have to say I agree. While the new ones have some cool extras, they often have way too many buttons with mostly useless functions (Does anyone really care how many joules they're burning???) and sometimes getting the information you're really interested in to appear on the display can be tricky. The older treadmills may have less bling but they do what you want them to do with little effort on your part. Plus I just like the feel of the older ones better. New technology is not always an improvement. Anyway, I was stuck on a newer treadmill tonight so I tried to make the best of it by doing more speed work and some inclines. I'm sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow.
