This winter’s going to kill me

This winter’s going to kill me
: I try to run — “run” being a generous description — five to six times a week. But thanks to the winter weather — too cold or too slipperly or too deep — I have gotten out on the road once in the last two weeks. Damn.

    Get an elipse machine. Even we here in the balmy Big Orange have them. That why you can work out while watching Aaron Brown. Makes you feeling speedy!

    meant “feel” speedy, of course.

    Roger: You live in CALIFORNIA, ferchrissakes. You can go outside under the palm trees and the street won’t trip you.

    I live in Phoenix, and it’s already getting too hot to run outside. I like those elliptical trainers too (only the gym-quality ones. Rickety, cheap ones are scary). I used to work out on one for an hour a day, 5 times a week, and it was actually fun, unlike a treadmill. Unfortunately, it seemed to hit my thigh muscles exclusively. So I got really good at running up stairs, and that’s about it.
