Treadmills Just Aren’t All That Bad
I haven’t been running at all lately, but tonight I did a nice slow barefoot mile on the treadmill and then did some yoga and I am feeling amazing. Someday maybe I’ll be one of those brilliant people who wake up in the morning to run and then feels great all day but not quite yet.
Here’s the yoga I did tonight, very easy and perfect for right before bed, especially if you work at a computer all day like me.

So why am I running on the treadmill inside when it’s absolutely beautiful outside? Partly because I’ve fallen so out of the running habit it just seems easier to do if I stay inside. But also partly because we have a wild hog with lots of little baby hogs in our neighborhood at the moment. These things stand as tall as my shoulders and of all the animals I’ve run across since moving to Florida these are the scariest (on land anyways) just because of their huge size. They tend to be seen a bit after it gets dark, just about when I like to go running. So, no running outside for me this week. The HOA hired a trapper to come and get them and hopefully bring them safely somewhere else.
OH and I’ve also seen a FEW alligators in the last week not to mention a few people have told me they’ve been seeing a bunch of snakes lately.
And people think a few rattlers, scorpions and killer bee swarms in Arizona are bad. I don’t know about anyone else but I am not feeling at the top of the food chain at the moment, and I don’t think being vegetarian has anything to do with it.
Have you ever run into wild animals while running or just out and about in your neighborhood?
i have seen some wild hogs in mine (and we are very suburban here!) and a coyote! we also have the random dogs that sometimes wander in (one chased me into my house once!) and so I usually carry bear mace with me when i run. i have a treadmill too which i do love!
I’ve thought about carrying mace but I’m not very dexterous, I’m afraid I’d panic and spray myself on accident.
I had a dog attack me once on a run. It wasn’t a “wild” animal, but an animal a bad owner had let off the leash! It was so scary!! I don’t run in the wilderness alone and now am hyper-vigilant about dogs ….
I love dogs but mean dogs are just as bad as wild animals. Happily we rarely have strays in the area I’m in now.
I’ve seen some in Flatwoods – scary!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so!
I had no idea that there were wild hogs in Florida. I wouldn’t be running outside either!
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very
hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb
usability and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a fantastic
job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast
for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!
I read this post fully on the topic of the comparison of most up-to-date
and earlier technologies, it’s remarkable article.
. Still, BMW intends to tax Tesla’s Version S sedan, which is giving European deluxe automobiles, traditionally a
must-have accessory for The golden state lobbyists, a run for their cash.
Mr. Fadell had praised the i8 in 2012 when Bloomberg asked
well-known designers to discuss their “preferred things.” Component of the appeal to him was that it was so unlike just what
a car company would certainly be anticipated to sell.
