I hate the treadmill

Yesterday I needed to run. The weather was very crappy. I tried the treadmill at first and made it two minutes and gave up. I then did the elliptical for 30 mins. At that point I was in a better frame of mind so I did a fast mile on the treadmill. actually my fastest yet. 9 minutes 30 seconds. So I didn't run a long distance but I had some good cardio time and I did at least one mile.
