The title said best state in the union but you mentioned MA, I am so confused. Treadmills are awesome, if they didnt cost a grand I would have one. But instead I run outside and risk my ankles and shins with every step. I have two buddie in the Marines. One of them is in officer training school and the other was a hard ass and got stabbed by some Iraqi lady with a screw driver he is ok now. I respect all US service men. They do all the hard work so I can stay in college and underachieve.
