Treadmill? Or Nature?
I personally like to run on a treadmill better because I can control my pace and I am able to concentrate on my breathing; however, since the Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon is outside, I better learn to like running outside!
For some reason, mentally, it's just easier for me to run on the treadmill. I gotta get over this!
So, I need some pointers on setting a good pace and on breathing techniques.

Elliptical!
But if you're running I say both. It depends on the weather, and it also depends on the surface. Grass and aslphalt are softer than concrete!
Ditto! I have a mental block when it comes to doing distance outside!
I'm so proud of you! So awesome!!!
Good to mix it up - too much running on hard surfaces can be hard on the joints. Thus, the treadmill can offer a bit of a break for the joints. I am so impressed. I have never been able to get motivated to doing any amount of running - I use the elliptical to stay in shape. Good luck!
You're awesome. You make me want to go running!
Hmm... no tips for you about running outside because I too love the treadmill. I love that I have a fan blowing in my face and a tv to keep me distracted. Actually, I do have a tip- I was told to always run with the treadmill at least an incline of a 2 to simulate running outside. So that's one way to get ready to run outside.
