On the treadmill in Cairo

Posted in Jeuland's Musings at 1:40 pm by Marc

Greetings from the sprawling city of Cairo! I have been relegated to running on the treadmill here as it is impossible to do so in the streets. If you have ever been to this city, you’ll understand. Crossing the street walking is hard enough! It’s like a real life version of frogger, which you can imagine is slightly more harrowing than a computer game. Alas, the treadmill’s not my favorite, but I think I will stick to it for a few more days.  There is something awful about having your pace be dictated by a brainless machine. You can never slow down or surge, unless you play with the speed and tilt, which I am way too lazy to do.
