New runner starting
Hey folks-
New runner here, just getting started. I've run once in awhile for fitness, but I've been more of a mountain biker than anything. Winter is coming fast up here in Wisconsin, and in my particular case, the freezing cold air and my lungs don't really get along. I'm armed with the couch -> 5k podcast, a decent treadmill that I bought off a buddy of mine, and I'm getting some shoes Tuesday.
I'm looking for some tips for what to do on a treadmill (other than run...) while I'm working out. MP3s, Reading, I might get a TV set up down there. Anything else you've found to alleviate the boredom of staring at the wall? Trying to be pro-active against the boredom.
