A dusty treadmill
It is haunting
A long paved road
Barking dogs
A pair of shoes
Holes in the sole
A perfect morning
Maybe some coffee
A cool afternoon
But always work
A lot of excuses
I’m getting soft

I have to admit that there’s something about using a treadmill that makes me feel like I am a hamster.
Given the choice, I would much rather walk or run outdoors.

Treadmills always kill my knees, I also have a rower for that reason.
History of treadmills was not exercise, it was about prisons though. Interestingly enough.

“Tread Mill” sounds like it could be some steam punk factory milling treads. Yet, it is the polar opposite, it is a machine designed to wear down treads. It could be called a tread grinder.
