The question is...do I want to spend the extra cash to get a nice treadmill.
I'm happier running 20 miles in the cold than I am running 5 miles on a mill. I can't stand them. As long as I'm not running on ice or deep snow, I'm fine. I have a treadmill at my house, and when the weather's bad enough that I have to run on a treadmill, I go to the gym. For some reason, it's just more bearable. And for $5 a month, I don't know how committed to going you'll have to be. Go once or twice a month and just sit in the sauna, and you'll have your money's worth.

Which part of the Jordan River Parkway do you run on? I do most of mine on the section from 12400 South to 14600 South. I'm looking forward to the day when the whole thing is connected. That would be great.
