the time has come..

the "time" i'm referring to is the change in seasons. time when outside running is no longer an option and the treadmill has to become your new friend. and not one of those "annoying, yet i guess i'm friends with you" type of friend. this has to be a good bff type of friend.
so how in the hell am i going to make this new "friend" without wanting to be mean/rude, ditch her, talk bad about her behind her back and have a fiery dislike for her?  hmm..a new strategy has to come to the surface, that's for sure.
why?
because i REFUSE to let that old 'mill (i think i just found a name for my new "friend!" i shall call her Millie) screw with my mind.
i REFUSE to succumb to the term "dread-mill."
i REFUSE to dread the entire duration of this bitterly cold, snowy weather that is about to drop more than a few flakes on this lovely state that i reside currently.

there is no way in hell i'm going to let some "machine" make me feel any other way about running than i already do..which is LOVE.
so...Ms. Millie, you best grab your ticket and get on board the JLem-train because this girl has a goal and is too determined (and stubborn!) and will not accept defeat.
it's me and you. quality and quantity. that's the kind of time and miles i'm looking for, my new friend, Millie.

and now..on with the show..(stay tuned and find out the ways that i slowly, but surely find out what works (and what doesn't) to make and keep my friendship alive with Millie.
