New Nordictrack Treadmill - testing it out after a 4 hour setup effort the night before.  Its a great treadmill. iFit application is straightup garbage, though...

Nice weather with some wind.  Got out the bike and verified its functionality briefly. - garage is being unpacked and stuff slowly falling in to place in the house.  Lunch run outside - favorite loop (actually lollipop) to Tipton.

Morning TM Workout: 4 mile cutdown.  Got it up in to the 10.7mph - 11 mph range for alittle while.  decent little workout on the NordicTrack.  IFit Workouts are non-sense, but, the leader board is a fun function to motivate me.  30:19.
