I found a treadmill on Craigslist. ... then all this happened w/ my job and I thought I better just wait because I'm going to be spending more money on gas, and I'm going to have to buy new clothes (which I did today, whew!) ... so I just forgot about the treadmill. Then the girl who was selling it text me Friday & asked if I was coming to look at it.. she said she would drop the price to $150 from $220. So I said okay. I asked Chris to go down there and look at it, it was about an hr away and I was getting off later then him. He said if he drives all the way down to Wauchula he's coming back w/ that treadmill.. i said okay!!!... He went down there and got it.
It's decent. I looked up some reviews and it's really not for running.. oh well. we only paid $150 for it. I ran on it today, it was fine... It probably wouldn't do for marathon training more then once, but I don't plan on training for a marathon just yet. I just need it to get me through the summer heat.
So weird, most of the folks up north are happy for the summer to be here because they can run outdoors. Out door running sucks in Florida because its SO hot.. They need a treadmill for the winter, I need one for the summer.
Unfortunately the treadmill is currently located in Chris' garage.. and it's just as hot in there as it is outside. We have no room in the house for it right now.. plus a treadmill in a trailer? seems like it would be really noisy & shaky! I'll be bringing it to my moms when I move up there in a week & a half.
I'm just excited to get back in the running game. I think i've run a whopping 6 miles for this entire month of May. That is the most pathetic thing ever!!
yay for getting back onto the running bandwagon!
