I cannot stand running on my gym's track when people are there. There's an initiative in my town to give fats free passes to the walking track in the winter if they're at risk of the beetus and they walk three abreast and block the entire way because the track is so small. It's easier to just use the treadmill.

I find I have a little more, I don't know, incentive? Drive? Determination? On the track, just because I can push myself and say "alright, just to the end of this lap" rather than "alright, just until this number on the screen changes to 4". But to each their own.

And free passes to the track? That's bullshit. Hang on while I go put 200 pounds on, maybe then I'll get pity handouts too.

Yeah, I zone out bad on treadmills which isn't always bad. But it's -20C outside so gotta tough it until winter.

I was jealous until I remembered all the money I save on not buying disgusting food, blood testing strips, and early caskets.

Are you fucking serious? They're going to reward becoming obese? Do they really think giving them free passes will accomplish anything other than a few new Facebook pages?
