Treadmill While Working                                       03/24/23
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Over  the past  few  years, I've  developed  some health  consequences
associated  with a  now decades-long  desk-job life.  The solution  is
simple enough in theory, but in practice I can't easily walk away from
my income source.

That's a lie which I don't believe--I could just walk away. We like to
tell ourselves that we don't have choices, but we do. I'll put it this
way instead: I don't want to walk away from my income source. Instead,
I want to believe I can solve the problem through more mindfulness.

And so,  this morning, I  found a stray  piece of thick  masonite (the
kind with  one side  coated in  that white  glossy layer,  perfect for
whiteboards), and  half a length of  1"x2"x8' wood, and built  a quick
treadmill  desk. It's  light and  sturdyish, and  sits easily  atop my
treadmill's upper thing (whatever that's called; controls?)

I am, of course, walking and testing it out now. The height happens to
be about  perfect. It  might be  an inch  too high.  We'll see  how my
shoulders feel  at the end of  the day. I have  enough experience with
ergonomics to know when something is off,  and my gut tells me I might
try to adjust  this thing .5-1"... but  I don't have a ton  of room to
easily  work on  that,  as the  height is  largely  determined by  the
treadmill itself.

Wish me luck, fellow gopher travelers.
