It's here!!!

My treadmill just arrived and I am giddy. I am only posting because I need to print out the assembly instructions that somehow didn't make it into the box, so in the mean time I can share my joy!

Years of waiting and wishing if finally happening! I feel like a little kid at Christmas and that doesn't happen very often as an adult!
 
I want to get one soooooo bad! But that big of a purchase I can't hide from DH! LOL!!! Have to wait till we are out of debt to justify. Maybe sometime next year (I have been saying that for a few years now) I can't wait to be in your position of opening up the box and setting up, getting on and walking anytime I feel like it. Have fun!

You are going to love it. It is so convenient and you don't have to look good or anything. The first thing I did is went out and bought music videos to watch while I'm on it. Enjoy!

Ohhh, you guys just have no idea how excited I am. I have it assembled and plugged in. I need to read up on how to drive the darn thing, but that will be fun too!

Colleen, I really hope you get one soon. I worked and saved, and actually sold a bunch of stuff on eBay to pay for it. I bought it debt free and still had 22 bucks left in my treadmill saving account. I tipped the guys 25.00 for bringing it into the house, so I guess I am technically in the hole 3 bucks! Oh well, I can live with that. I have avoided telling my husband because I thought it would take at least another week to get here, and he is so stressed with paramedic school that I really was looking for the right place and time to mention it....though the fact that I paid cash will help. Not to mention my logic which is that I basically traded a bunch of stuff for it, so our house got cleaned out as well;-)

Dani, your marathon inspired me so much! I have a friend who trained for one exclusively on a treadmill. I am thrilled for you with your own marathon and hopefully I can be ready for something by spring...not to mention just being able to take a nice mellow walk in the winter, without risking my life in the tons of snow that we get.

Off to lace up my walkin' shoes!!
 
I am so happy for you!! I was just telling my parents about getting one. We got one a few years ago and have never regretted it. It's was a big purchase for us, but it has been so worth it! No matter what the weather or time of day, I can always get a walk/run in, no excuses!

Good luck, and ENJOY!!! :) :)

PS If you search online, there are a lot of treadmill workout plans for running specific distances, or races. I found a few that aren't necessarily for training, but are designed to be boredom busters to use when plain ole' stolling has gotten old! :)
 
That sounds kind of cool. I was also wondering about the Cardio Coach thing that Franci was talking about. I can't recall if it utilized a treadmill.
 
Dani,

I've been wondering how you are doing on your treadmill! I really want to get one and I'm anxious to hear your reviews. What kind did you get? How do you like it?

Please share!

DH bought me one 2 yrs ago for christmas and I was soooooooooo excited.He got it on sale for $799 before taxes and it has lasted me this long, although there are days it acts a little weird.I always ran outside but I didn't know how I was going to enjoy a treadmill.
When this one gives out...Im gonna buy a really good one.
Have fun!
Lori:)
