I do both.
Treadmills are a last resort for me, I only run on them when it's pouring rain. And gyms are always stiflingly hot to me (I prefer running when it's like 50 degrees outside) and I get really bored running in one spot.
I'm really excited because the City is putting in a new path along my home running route that goes up into a forested park area - and it looks like it's really hilly so it'll be great as part of my hill training!

I'll have to pay attention to which side of the road I run on and which joints ache afterwards; thanks for the tip!

I did my second half marathon in May and I'm signed up for my third next May. I use races as an incentive to workout/train.
