Okay, I wanted to believe that email. But as Ronald Reagan said, trust but verify. So I looked up “treadmill”. William Staub is generally regarded as the inventor of the first practical treadmill. He lived to be 96.

I was going to check more of those statements, but I gotta run out now and buy a treadmill.

“but I gotta run out now and buy a treadmill.”

Do you need that treadmill? Sounds like you run anyway and actually go somewhere on those runs.

Go ahead and substitute running guru and marathoner Jim Fixx, author of the “The Complete Book To Running, with Staub. Fixx ended up dying from a heart attack at the age of 52 while running. Cheers!
