I don't know about physically, but I could never imagine tormenting
myself with running in the same place, staring at the same wall for
more than 10 minutes a year.  Muchless 40 miles a week all winter long.
I don't know about you, but most of what I love about running comes
the running itself:  enjoying the scenery, exploring new areas, finding
new trails, and greeting other runners along the way (I only say runners
because often on those frigid days, the people I see are runners and
mailmen).   Running indoors on a treadmill would kill me!!  
	Just my opinion,
