Short-Term Running Goals:

Get fit again! Casper Marathon on June 8th in Casper, Wyoming. I don't have a specific goal time for it, as I don't know the course real well, but I'd like to shoot for 6 minute pace.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run for your life! Stay active enough to eat seconds and ice cream without guilt.

Personal:

Married to a beautiful wife AnnMarie, who is also a 3:15 marathoner and the mother of our handsome 2 year old, Myles and newbie Sullivan. Sullivant was born 2 years and one day after Myles was born. Myles knows only one speed--running all out. Kinda like Prefontaine.  Besides running, I enjoy reading, woodworking, fishing, and chasing Myles around our house.

Bad news on the 'mill front. The deck is officially gonzo, so I layered up and braved the cold. And lemme tell ya, it's COLD here in Cokeville. And slick, and I get weird looks from people driving. Only got 4 1/2 miles in, but it was a solid pace the entire way, and for once I didn't feel like a meatball like I have for the past two months or so. I don't know if Nordictrack will replace the deck or not, if they don't, then we'll probably take some money from when we sell our home and get a nice one. We have used this one often, so we figure it's a worthwhile investment. Out.

Joe - my wife works for ICON (ie - NordicTrack), and she says that the warranty would be expired by now, so you probably couldn't get a free replacement. However, you can get the deck replaced for about $100, and it's not a hard thing to assemble.

Paul, that sounds good. It's been a good treadmill for our needs, so a replacement deck would be nice. Can she check on decks for a c2200 model? Thanks, Joe

Joe - the best bet would be to call NordicTrack customer service directly. My wife used to work in that particular department, but does not anymore.

Joe, don't listen to him. I can check on it. C2200. Check. I'll look into it.
