PM - In Gainesville to drop off my daughter at school at UF - I did 12.5 miles on the treadmill at the SW Rec Center gym they have on campus while my wife and daughter set up the dorm room after I carried all of her stuff upstairs (they did not want me there anyway).  This gym is very high end, with a huge indoor basketball area, with multiple courts, an indoor running track, aerobic machines on two floors - and with Woodway treadmills with no time restrictions on use.  I would love belong to a gym like this (nice that it is "free" to students), but had to admit I felt a bit out of place with nearly all of the population in the facility being at least 25 years my junior.  Pretty solid run in the middle of the afternoon - a little soreness in the front of my right shin afterward, which probably was from the treadmill, which is a little different in feel than most that I am used to.

They may be 25 years younger, but I doubt they put in a quarter of what you did on the treadmill. I think Cynda went to that gym more than she went to class last semester - kick boxing, treadmill, stair climber, laps on the track - pretty sweet deal. She has a huge pile of stuff in her room ready to throw in my jeep on Saturday - oh joy.
