The treadmill should be fine, if you can stand the boredom. I just did 6 (it's cold here too) and that's about all I can stand. The only problem might be if people are waiting to use it and you're on there for that long (some gyms have a time limit). You might explain your situation to the manager just in case. Just don't push the stroller on there!
I fly.
Bring it on.

I give you more HTFU points for staying on the treadmill that long than for running outside...
