Tread mill reminds me of a bad day, a bad week in life with all the running and getting nowhere. No joy in knocking in a perfectly good exercise equipment but it does feel sad to see rows of people running on it.
The dashboard does talk about calories burnt and miles traveled but at the end of it you are standing exactly where you started. It is like that day when you run and run and run and nothing happens. You are wiped out and yet you didn't move at all. It almost seems like a perfect illusion.
And we all have those days. Constant running to nowhere. Constant effort with no output of value.
The other part of me thinks, tread mill might have some value – strength and stamina building.
I guess, those days of 'nothing' do play a role as well. They build strength too. And they provide the low that makes the high so sweet. They burn too and builds your endurance of burn.
All of those days of getting nowhere gets you to run a perfect marathon one day!
