I'm not saying I enjoy treadmills, but between having the kids 90% of the time, the end of daylight savings and thus less daylight (single woman running NOT in the dark), and unpredictable weather (pouring rain, freezing temperatures), I'm glad to have it.
I can't read on the treadmill either, but movies and YouTube work well and are nice for pacing & intervals. I also like the incline function.
