First 4-miler of the year

I ran non-stop on the treadmill for 4 miles today. I wanted to accomplish that goal by the end of this week, so I'm definitely on schedule. For the rest of the week, whether I run 4-miles or not, I will focus on speed. When I work on speed I don't mind stopping.

Running is something to do. I takes up time that I otherwise would be spent watching TV, just flipping channels. Seriously, is there anything good on TV except baseball? I don't see how parents run because it takes time. With kids I would expect there is already something to do, and not much time. However, it's the freedom feeling during a runner's high or the focused feel afterwards that is why people may run, whether they are parents or not.
