Outdoor Running versus Indoor Running

I can honestly say that I prefer hitting the pavement over my treadmill!These past few weeks I have started running outdoors and it is so much more nicer and I get a better workout.Is it harder?Yes it is,but I feel its more of a challenge and I like that.I'm always looking for ways to enhance my workouts and change them up a bit.The most I can go at this point is 6 miles and it doesn't even feel like I am going that far.I definitely feel my legs getting tighter and I love the after burn lol....To all those people that are even curious about outdoor workouts,I say try it!At first I didn't want to workout in front of anyone,however for the most part I don't think people even care what you are doing.So when the weather is decent I say get out there and hit the pavement!Its also nice because the kids get to get out and stretch there legs.I'm hoping my oldest will embrace my love of running and it can be something we can do together....as of now she is resistant,but who knows it can change!
