Why I Didn't Purchase A Treadmill??

I've had AT LEAST a couple hundred emails asking me why I didn't purchase a treadmill if I was *running* in the Boston Marathon...
A fair question to be sure.One of the reasons is the fact that I live in a Hampster Cage as you can see from some of the pics below. Not so much space.
HOWEVER, the main reason I got a rickshaw instead of a treadmill was I afraid that my knees would literally explode under the constant pounding of the pavement.
**ON ANOTHER SIDENOTE: I went for a run this morning in the snow and came across a little kid in the park. He was just a little rugrat - and if I had to guess, he was somewhere between the ages of 2 and 12. I'm not that good with ages.
He looked similar to this (only picture him wearing a snowsuit and an demonic look in his eye):

Innocent enough, right???
Well I saw him eating "dirty snow" as I was jogging by so I said to him,
"C'mon big man, you don't want to put that in your mouth. You'll get sick."And to that he replied (AND I QUOTE)...
"Why don't you go jump off a cliff and shoot yourself in the face half way down you fat bastard!"
Pretty amazing huh?
Even the 2 to 12 demographic is against me running this race...
