Thank you, NYTimes, for clarifying something I have always wondered about: how does running outside compare to running on a treadmill?

I'm usually disappointed when I try to take a picture of a steep precipice—it never seems as impressive in the photo as it did when I was standing right there. Take this photo, for example.
Editorial correction?
"... running on the treadmill of evolution UNTIL you fall off."
