It's been 7 days of using the treadmill desk for all writing projects.  Since beginning...

1) I have logged 42.5 miles at 1.3-1.7 miles per hour, walking between 5-7.5 miles per day. Yes, this nerd is tracking data on a calendar.

2) I have not fallen off once, though the first day, there was a potentially epic circus-like spill.

3) I have had much more focus, even during some of my less exciting projects. My body shuts up when I give it something to do, allowing my brain to work.

4) I have dumped one mug of tea which did not hurt either computer or treadmill but was close enough for a good scare and a new location for all beverages.

5) I have simplified my already simple wardrobe to exercise pants, hoodie and tennis shoes.

6) I sleep better but dream weirder.  

7) I take less ibuprofen.

8) I don't have the 4:00 PM stupor and can still speak in complete sentences at 7:00 PM.

This is not a replacement for sweaty, heart-thumping exercise (shudder)-- it replaces sitting, and it takes about 5 minutes to get accustomed to working this way.  If you are in my neighborhood, stop in and check it out for yourself.  If you're not, watch the video of author Arthur Slade on his treadmill desk on YouTube or just google "treadmill desk" and you'll find plenty of believers.
