many folks have told me about running over the electric cord
Forgive my bluntness (I'm in a mood), but you would have to be a total idiot to run over a mower's power cord. I had both an electric mower and a large lawn where I previously lived, and the biggest hassle was fighting the extension cord. Like Christmas lights, the damned thing was always tangled, and its heavy gauge made it a chore to undo. You do have to flip the cord over your head once you change direction, but piffle on that!
Good luck with the manual mower, though. No doubt it will pump up those biceps (and what have you) in addition to cutting the grass.
