The Treadmill Switcher is a comedy set in modern day Columbia, MO. A woman who walks on the same treadmill every day is fascinated by a person (who may be a child, or may be a lesbian) with a unique workout routine. They get on the treadmill, set it to 6.7 miles-per-hour, and run for exactly 30 minutes. Then they leave. When that person switches treadmills and runs directly next to the woman, she begins questioning their destiny in her life and the monotony of her own routine. She fantasizes about their life together, which looks entirely different depending on if this person is a child or a lesbian. She tries to investigate, but when she doesn’t achieve results she turns her own treadmill up to 6.7 and reaps the consequences.
