Miles a day

Since last week, my weekly mileage is 40K (or 25miles) if my bowels let me 
I run 4/week (4-9-7-20K). I'm still upping my weekly mileage as I'm in training for a 1/2 mary on 10 July. Want to have a solid base before attempting the race. And hopefully bring my time down to 2:15.
I ran 3/week for 14 months and only started incorporating the 4th run this month. Sofar without aggrevating my bad knee.

I am the turtle of the group, lol. I only run 15 miles a week (typically 5 miles / 3 days) I am thinking of increasing to 20 or 25 miles per week though. The fitness results I have achieved from running are phenominal. I have lost close to 10 pounds, have lost significant fat in my legs, hips and booty, and have very nice hamstring and quad definition.
Enjoy your treadmill!!

tried the listening to music and watching tv, still get bored, I even recorded the nyc marathon and see the female leading running and I only can keep up with them for 20 min. then boom I stop, need a way to stick with treadmill, is summer and I dont like to run outdoors in hot weather.

I bought my treadmill in January...before that I never ran. This week I ran 48 miles + cooldowns. Usually, anywhere between 30-48 miles. I am on a "fat burning" cycle right now so I am jacking up the cardio.
Also, I get more and more addicted to my treadmill when I see all the added definition in my legs. My lower body has gotten so firm, solid and LEAN from running!
For the record...I do VH1 and music while I run.

Sarah,
You sound like loads of fun when you run. I would love to run and listen to music. My DD swears that I won't be able to as I will cause the CD to skip. What do you use?
I am seriously thinking about getting back into running more. My endurance has slowed down since I don't incorporate much cardio, but more strength training instead. I noticed that when I run, I can't seem to get as far as I did last year when I was just working out my lower body and doing more cardio then. That disappoints me so I don't have a treadmill, but I am thinking of doing more high and low impact aerobics to get the endurance going and then just run out of the door when I am done with the aerobics while my heart rate is still up. I just love it when my face is red and pounding and I can see my arms get red too and feel the sweat just pour off my legs...what a rush!

It's been a while since I've gone for a run outdoors. (When I'm on the treadmill, I don't really pay attention to mileage but focus on time -length of workout - instead). Anyway, when I DO go out, I usually do about 4-6 miles. I think I aim for 6 but if it's been a while or I'm wiped out, I do about 4 or 5.
I also have to have music! I really believe it makes me run faster than when I'm without my MP3 player.

I splurged and got a Lifetime Fitness treadmill. Have used it to death and actually burned through a belt that I got replaced for free, since it was all still under warranty.
One point about outdoors vs treadmill: Yes, in some ways treadmill is more boring. I have to work to distract myself with really good music AND an interesting program on the tv at the same time. On the other hand, when I used to run outdoors I also found that I had to distract myself--the scenery wasn't always enough. It was hard to keep a steady pace and to motivate myself to go a longer route. With a treadmill I just do it--probably because I'm used to it. Last point was that with a treadmill I never have to worry about personal safety. Love being outdoors in the early morning when it's peaceful on the road and there are no people around--but in the back of my mind I'd always worry about how safe it was for me to be out there. That's a bigger factor for me now that I live in NYC.
