Treadmills are marbles

It sounds like a good idea. I mean, there's TV, how bad can it be?

For maybe the third time in my life, I attempted to run on a treadmill this morning, hoping to counteract some of the heroic gluttony of the past few days. My God, what a horrible experience. I only ran two miles, but it felt like twelve. I turned on CNN, but it's amazing how time slows down when you're running in place - those freecreditreport.com commercials somehow get worse and seem to last for days. So instead I ended up watching the red LEDs slowly light up around the track I was supposed to imagine myself running around, impatiently waiting for each like miniature Santa Clauses. Next time I think I'll just risk the hypothermia and run outside.
