Treadmill

So, the treadmill I bought used 2-3 weeks ago, died two nights ago. I went to Sears tonight and purchased a new one (with a five year warranty; evidently, consumer reports only recommends extended warranties for two products: laptops and treadmills). Fine by me. The 5 year extended was $150 bucks.

It's much smoother than my last treadmill, though the walking area isn't nearly as wide. . . it'll probably be a bit tricky to run on it. . . if the treadmill breaks, then it's fine by me, I plan to just get another one.

My real goal is to walk in the neighborhood of 20 miles per week (which is 4 miles 5-6 times per week). I will probably start doing more running outside, because it will be light out for a longer period of time. . .

Hang in there buddy....do what you think you have to do to lose weight. 2 years a go I went on that Atkins Diet and walked 30 minutes a day....over a 6 month period I lost 45 pounds....and increased my walking to a hour a day....I felt great.....then had an accident that does not allow me to walk PERIOD.

Hang in there...you can do it
