So at the NITRO meeting last week, I heard my very mention of the "Super Treadmill." If you thought your local gym's treadmill was bad, wait until you get a load of this one. It goes up to 28 mph (for those jackrabbits out there) and has an incline of 40% degree and a decline of 10%. Um yea, you won't be catching me on one of those babies! I can barely make it to 7 mph on most days!
I had a dream about treadmills last night. I haven't ran since Wednesday. I could go to the Y today but well, it's cold out there. But I've been seriously thinking of getting a treadmill. This way I could still do my long runs (6+ miles). But I'm on the second floor. I'm not sure how my neighbours downstairs would feel about that. Also, I don't really have a room to put it in. My living room is too small for it. I have a bed & small computer desk in my But I was thinking that if I get rid of my dining room table (not that ever use it but for twice a year or something), I could put in there and then I could still watch TV a bit.
There's a local athletic gym that is moving and getting new treadmills. At the gym, (where our running group meets), the owner said that he plans on marking his treadmills for sale. It would be awesome to get one, even if it is a used one, for a good price. I would still have to think of a place for it here and get transportation to move it to my apartment and then up to my second floor apartment but I could figure it out somehow.
This damn weather is getting me so down, though. It's not so much the snow but the cold that I can't handle. It's 11 degrees now and feels like -2. Um yea, I can't run outside in that. And walking over to the Y would be difficult. My car wouldn't start yesterday. I haven't tried today yet. I'm hoping it will get a little warmer yet before I try.
I just hope that it warms up to the 20's with no wind chill soon. Then I can run outside.
