Long treadmill runs and the not too distant future

As I keep chugging along this year aiming for consistency, I found myself at an impasse when I rolled out for a ho hum 5 miler around Providence and not even a mile in felt a burning pain on my left foot and had to call it quits on that run.  Per usual, the biggest fear was that well, that was the last run ever.  I need a back up plan when that actually happens.

But as soon as I got my foot back, I tested it out for 3 hours on a treadmill.  Seems normal right?  And for whatever reason, on long runs my mind is okay with monotony for 3 hours yet the daily 5 mile run takes forever.
