How do you make treadmill NOT SO BORING?

I usually listen to music for a little while and then plug my headphones into the t.v. My gym has small flat screens attached to each machine which is nice. The cardio section of my gym is upstairs and it overlooks the weight machines and you can also see the room where people take classes. It may seem weird but whenever I feel bored on the machine I just look around. I watch people who are really in shape working on the machines or I watch the boot camp class that is usually going on when I'm there. The instructor is sooo in shape she looks amazing. Doing this usually gives me instant motivation because I see what the body is capable of with hard work and dedication.

Another suggestion that I haven't personally tried, but I know people who have, is to listen to audio books as you jog. Boring+boring=/= exciting in my book, but some people enjoy it hah.

ahah i laughed when i read that. yeah, 2 borings dont make an exciting. thatsss for sure.
 
I have an ipod touch and I download seasons of southpark to watch while I'm on the elliptical. My wife had to pry me off the machine Friday night.
 
I'm a complete nerd - I do math - calculating the distance/time/stride/etcetera and compare it to what the machine says!
