Out there running since dinosaurs roamed the earth
I run for Fried Chicken!
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I am at least a minute per mile faster on the road. It is VERY discouraging and causes the Dreadmill runs to last even longer!

I joke about this, but it's really true -- it's bad news when you break wind on a treadmill. Way worse than outside, because instead of running away from the bio-hazard zone, you are stuck in the middle of it, enveloped by the stench. So there's a big advantage of outdoors. Even the slowest runner can outrun their own farts.
