…or walking.
I mean, obviously
it’s great for BOTH of those things—and during the winter, it’s where I do most
of my training for track and field.
But the other day,
an author by the name of Arthur Slade came into our class and talked about how
he WRITES while he’s on his treadmill.
He’s customized his machine so he can
walk and type at The. Same. Time. #mindblown
Of course, I’m not
that talented (yet), and building a treadmill-table might be beyond my Dad’s
basic carpentry skills, BUT, I figured out what I CAN do on the treadmill,
besides training.
I can THINK.
In fact, I can
brainstorm story ideas, character profiles, settings and plot points. I can
work through story snags, or even (I can’t believe I am saying this) think
about homework problems and come up with solutions. In fact, brainstorming may
be the single best way for me to avoid the boring treadmill workout while I
wait for Spring, because, everyone knows it’s so much prettier to run outside.
Don’t you agree?
Gotta jet!
