Winter is a good excuse not to jog. It's dark, cold, and you could slip on ice and break your little pelvis.
Treadmills serve a purpose, but they get old fast.
You could always walk fast at the Deptford Mall, but breaking into a sprint could get you tagged by the mall security delta force.
So, it seems that it may be time to turn to the handful of local gyms in the area that have indoor tracks.
It might take 12 or so laps to get a mile, but it's not a treadmill and it's not sheet ice.
Even though indoor tracks are used more in winter, they are popular all year, said Eddie Carrington, a spokesman for Bally Total Fitness.
Bally's gyms in Deptford and Voorhees have indoor tracks. The track at the Voorhees location is encircled by windows, so joggers can stare longingly at the folks going into Fuddruckers and the people coming out can look up in shame.
If you're not a student at Rowan University, you can still get a limited membership (restricted access hours) and enjoy their elevated, indoor track, which encircles basketball courts..
Just make sure you're running in the right direction as everyone else or you could wind up with a broken pelvis.
