Yet another day researching treadmills. On Saturday, we went to 3 different stores and today another one. We've looked online for the last month and on Consumer Reports. We've also debated the pros and cons of a gym membership vs. treadmill. I think we've finally decided on a treadmill and I think we'll get the one that we saw today. It sure isn't fun to part with so much money, is it? But hopefully it will see many, many... many years of service! ;o)

No run today. I missed the girls' 2 naps (which were oddly short today) and then spent the afternoon shopping treadmills and talking with my husband about it. I'll get out tomorrow though!!!!! Hold me to it!

Hey- shopping for treadmills is an important mental workout! At least you had running on the brain today! New treadmill sounds awesome.

I think you've got commitment issues when it comes to choosing a treadmill (he he).

Unfortunately, just LOOKING at treadmills does not count as mileage. *Wink*

hahaha!! Commitment issues, option shock, decision paralysis ... yup. It feels like we've been looking into treadmills forever. But we actually bought one today!!! So, after the CO primary caucus tonight, I'm running! Wahoo!!!

Hey, no dust collecting treadmill for you, have you ran your maiden run yet?

Stay Cool, B of BS rools out

You will love having a treadmill - I committed (bought) but use it more as a dust collector. My son uses it though.
