  1. Help! I live in a freezing cold, arctic, god-forsaken part of the US. In order to maintain my health
    and safety I am currently running on a treadmill at the fitness center - desperately trying to
    maintain my
    4/week running fix.

    I'm tired of staring at the sweaty butt of the guy on the stationary bike in front of me. I need
    motivation...any suggestions?

    Tell him to put on some shorts. Other than that, maybe find an indoor track, or get some serious
    cold weather running gear and head outdoors.

    Music players are a must. Get a good sports MP3 player.

    Do workouts and tempo runs on the treadmill from time to time. The first few times, speedwork on a
    treadmill can be quite exciting. I've seen people
    - obviously quite compulsive - who straddle the belt waiting for it to come up to speed before
    leaping on to start a rep. You make the same leap on dry land, but with the belt you have to judge
    it right. Even without a flying start, it is intimidating to run inches away from hard objects
    travelling past at high relative velocity.

    Try some of the other machines in the center. They are all similar to running in that you can make
    them as tough as you want them to be. They all have calorie counters so you can do the same amount
    of work you would running.

    Try a different time of day when you might find a butt worth looking at?

    you folks that cry about motivation. you've got plenty to think about when you're running. it's your
    time for yourself. plan your day. plan your supper. relax the muscles in your body one by one.
    mentally move around in your body feeling how things feel (like, do you feel the shorts flapping, do
    you feel your hams tightening and loosening?), so much.

    don't read. don't watch tv. go inside. ...thehick

    Some guy was touting the advantages of running backwards on the t'mill. Then you could stare at the
    jiggly [censored] of the gal behind you. If you're not motivated by sweaty guy-butts, maybe jiggly girl-
    [censored] wil do the trick!

  7. Isn't your own enormous hinder motivation enough?

    Sure. First you send me nude pics, then I stalk you, and I guarantee you will run faster than ever
    before knowing I'm right behind you.

    WHO WAS IT, THREATENED THE PRESIDENT?

    WHO ADVOCATED AID TO TERRORISTS?

    YEP, our own BILL DAVIDSON, just one day after the 9-11 attack, while the victims were
    still burning.
