Running inside

I went to the O'fallon recreation center for the first time today. I wimped out on running outside and decided to pay $5 to go run inside on a treadmill. As I was clearing the snow off the car, the wind was blowing snow into my face and my hands were freezing I was so thankful to be going somewhere warm to work out.
I liked the recreation center but it sure was busy. It was my first experience running on a treadmill. I didn't care for it too much. I definitely prefer the wide open outdoors. It was nice to see exactly what pace you were running at ect. I did 3 miles on the tread mill then my time was up so I finished up with another mile on the indoor track. I don't care much for the 1/10 mile track. You could get dizzy running on that thing. Then I used some of the weight equipment to work my arms and legs. Finally I finished up by going swimming. I swam a couple laps then I just lounged around in the pool for a while. It is a very nice facility I will have to take the boys some time. Tomorrow I will be back to running outside. The sidewalks will still be covered so I will be running on the road. Then next week 50 degree weather I am looking forward to it.
The race is 1 week away I do not feel ready at all. I am still so slow. I guess It doesn't really matter too much how slow I am. I just don't want to be the very last person to finish.
