The Runner

Yesterday I ran on the treadmill for a record time of 12 minutes. Yes, that is right, minutes not miles. This may seem pretty pathetic if you keep in mind my profession as a personal trainer and a gym owner. I taught aerobics for the past few years too. So why is it that I can only run 12 minutes? The answer is that it is boring. I don't quit because I am dying (although I am at times), I quit because I am just bored. Maybe if I had a t.v. to watch I would be able to run for hours. But I don't. I have a radio station that has way too many commercials and not interesting talk, so I get bored. But I am still very proud of my 12 minutes.
