Earliest running memories

In my 20's, way before I became a marathon runner, I used to have a gym membership. I would often go to the treadill for awhile and then over to the weight machines. Well after time, I would stop going to the weight machines and just stay on the treadmills. My next thought was that I could save a lot of money in the long run and just buy a treadmill and use it at home. My next thought after that was and especially since my treadmill broke was that I could run on the road. One thing led to another and I love running on the road. Just throw on a ratty pair of shorts, a shirt, of course a great pair of running shoes and off I go. Cheapest exercise out there, except for the cost of shoes.
