Those treadmills are vicious! However, recently while running out with my group of runners, one of our folk wasn’t paying attention, got their iPod cord caught on the side mirror of a car, tried to grab it while still running, fell over backward, and hit their elbow on the street, breaking it! So feel good that all you had to show for this was skinned knees!

This is really just incredible the number of treadmill stories. Wow. And to think, this morning I ran on the road…

Screw this…I’m going back to a sedentary lifestyle…MUCH SAFER! My lazy-boy has never throw me off of it! It welcomes me with comfort, open arms, and invites me to kick my legs up! My TIVO says…Hey, Let me do the work for you!

This may be making some sort of case that longevity of life can be assured by being inactive.
