Whats your longest treadmill run?

Answered by a doctor

Just wondering what the longest run is we've ever put in on a treadmill. The baby wouldn't sleep last night, and I didn't get enough sleep to get up at 4:30 and do an 11 miler before summer school. So, I have to either do it outside in the sweltering heat, or in the basement on the treadmill....

How to prevent frozen feet while cycling?

Since the weather has been cooling down, my feet freeze whenever I ride. It usually takes an hour and lots of hot water to defrost my toes. Do those booties that go over your riding shoes work well? Any other suggestions?
