Also, some heath clubs provide free or paid child care that can also help create an opportunity to run using the treadmill. @Blaine – Good point!

I do want to point out that you missed probably the biggest benefit of a treadmill...one that I will hopefully be able to take advantage of in a year or two. For parents with young children, treadmills provide a way to get a run in while your baby naps, since obviously you can't take off for an hour or two and leave the baby alone.

Awesome! @Patton - That is because you are running barefoot. Get some shoes on man! :) @Mark – I’ll take the few seconds. ;)

If the TV is not centered with a laser to the treadmill, I will drift. Imagine "Ernest Goes To The YMCA" and you can get a pretty good idea of my treadmill workout. P flowrunnigproject.com David,

It's not for everyone, but I'm one of the lucky ones who has a 6500 ft peak in my backyard. Oh yea, and we have 300 days of sunshine here.

Watching the 50 year old mom's taking the Hip-Hop dance class in the aerobics room, makes a long run almost enjoyable. People watching is the best part to being on the dreadmill.

If that was the only way to run I think I'd retire to the couch with a big bag of chips and a cold beer. Nice post though - you did make me think for a few seconds :-) I’m afraid I’m an ardent treadmill basher.
