Looks like Jaron might get that treadmill he wants!!!.....
Frostburg shut-ins should buy runner a treadmill
To the Editor:
I'm sure running, jogging 100 miles a week in ice, snow, 0-degree temps, can be quite a hazard. So come on people, shovel your sidewalk. Even if you are elderly, sick or a shut-in. So Jared Hawkins can run and jog down your street as quoted in his letter to the editor in the Feb. 22 Times-News. Ice and snow is hard for everyone, not just the handful of people who enjoy running in extreme weather. There are plenty of snow shovels and ice removers in Frostburg.
Mr. Hawkins, you must not drive because gas prices are the lowest in almost two years. You must have godly healing powers to sprain your ankle six times in one day. I've sprained my ankle twice in my 49 years, and it was days before I could walk good. Again, you stated that you work full time, well so do most people.
I love swimming, walking etc., but I don't get paid for it, do you? So all you Frostburg people who are apathetic - fancy word for lazy - please clean your sidewalk for Mr. Hawkins, and if you can't, please donate some funds - fancy word for money - so he can buy a treadmill to run on.

Come on, JARED! What's up? I have NEVER seen a place like the Cumberland area where a letter to the editor invariably elicits a personal attack/reply like this, regardless of subject. This one at least is more intelligible than most, aside from your new name of course. Great stuff.

I actually was very offended by that letter and felt like it was a personal attack. The one today didn't bother me, but yesterday's really made me mad. I put it up on my fridge for some extra motivation. The part that really irked me was when he said that I jog 100 miles a week. No buddy, jogging is what you do; what I do is called running!
And I don't get paid to swim, do you get paid to run? Well, ###hole, sometimes I do!
