Running Indoors

I received some unusual advice the other day: "Run indoors occasionally." And this from a veteran of several Boston Marathons! But the reasoning was sound: "We train all winter in the cold, yet we race in the heat!" Given that most gyms are a balmy 62 degrees, what better place to escape the ice and snow? (Maybe Phoenix. Check out the Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon and the course map.)
The bottom line is, when the streets are a mess I will likely run at the BU Fit Rec on a lovely Precor M9.57 and watch SportsCenter. Although perhaps I will row on a brand new Concept2 Model D. Then again . . .
