I can't believe you waited until now to do it. HA 9 miles on a TM this weekend, well my advice is to try to focus on the music and this might sound weird but I do a lot of visulization like visualizing that I am crossing the finish line and what it will be like and who all will be there and what I think I will be like. Doing this just helps me get through the boredom of the TM. I do this often even when running outside but especially if I have to do any thing over 5 miles on the TM. After every mile just think I only have 8 miles left, only 7 miles left and so on. B/c then when you get down to 4 or 5 you are thinking this is a piece of cake and you can do this. Listen to the music and sing or think of your grocery list or what good recipe you are going to cook next. You have to get your focus of the boredom of the TM and think about anything else that you can think of. You can do it though. Think how great you will feel when it is done.
